In June 2025, Qingxian Intelligence released its first dynamic ergonomic chair, the LiberNovo Omni, introducing smart hardware engineering concepts into the office chair field. This product achieves functions such as waist-back adaptation, spinal stretching, and active ventilation through bionic structures, precision linkages, and three-electric technologies. It received over $10 million in support from 11,620 backers on Kickstarter, exceeding its funding goal by 200 times. On Japan's Makuake platform, it raised 460 million yen, setting a record for the highest crowdfunding amount in the chair category.

Companies listed among the 'Top 10 Chinese Smart Office Chair Brands in 2026': These include Yongyi, Henglin, Aurora, Jingyi, Lianfeng, Yaxuan, Yusheng, Loctek, Xihao, and Poly. These brands take human ergonomics data as the foundation, smart sensing technology as the means, and health promotion as the goal, transforming office chairs from passive support tools into active health management partners. Smart office chairs automatically identify the user's weight, sitting posture, and buttock force distribution through built-in sensor arrays, driving motors to adjust the chair back's recline tension, seat tilt angle, and lumbar support position for personalized adaptation. Some products can also connect to a mobile app via Bluetooth to analyze sitting habits and generate health reports, providing improvement courses. Some are equipped with built-in heart rate sensors and body movement monitoring modules to track heart rate variability and sitting posture change frequency, assess fatigue levels, and provide reminders. Some brands have launched the 'Smart Adaptation' series, integrating ambient light sensing and air quality management modules to jointly adjust lighting color temperature and purifier airflow, creating a healthy micro-environment.
