COLOGNE, Germany, January 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – As the prestigious imm cologne 2026 – the global benchmark for home design and smart technology – concludes, intelligent health technology brand VivaNova has made a defining global debut.
Backed by Lumos Robotics, a leading pioneer in humanoid robotics, VivaNova successfully completed its first international showcase. The brand not only officially launched the Viva series of active ergonomic chairs in the European market, but also teased the highly anticipated Nova series: the world’s first AI-powered smart chair that will hit the market in June.
Brand essence: bringing humanoid intelligence to ‘active health’
VivaNova is not a traditional furniture brand; it is a pioneer in intelligent health technology. While the industry remains focused on ‘passive support’, VivaNova is systematically transplanting the ‘Perception-Decision-Execution’ capabilities of humanoid robots into everyday health scenarios.
By integrating precise motor control, environment-adaptive algorithms and multi-dimensional sensing originally developed for high-performance robots, VivaNova breaks the perception of ‘furniture as static tools’. Instead, the brand creates products that “understand the body and provide proactive care.” This aligns with the brand’s core value, ‘Inspire Creativity’: the belief that the ultimate purpose of technology is to free the human body from limitations, allowing every creator to unleash their limitless potential in a state of peak performance.
Strategic debut: defining the “Active Health” category.
To mark its entry into the international high-end market, VivaNova launched at the fair with two strategies to attract the attention of the global industry:
Official launch: the Viva series (available now)
The Viva Series represents the first successful translation of humanoid robotic technology into a consumer healthcare solution. Centered around the concept of ‘active, not passive’, it redefines the sedentary experience through three collaborative systems, supported by robot-level precision:
VivaMotion™ Intelligent Motion System: Derived from robotic motion control algorithms, this system orchestrates continuous micro-movements, effectively preventing stiffness and circulatory stagnation. Key features include a 157° Zero-Gravity mode that mimics the feeling of floating in space, and the VivaStretch™ program, which uses synchronized spinal coupling to stretch the body along natural physiological curves, actively stimulating metabolism.
VivaRelief™ Intelligent Sensory System: This system functions as the chair’s ‘senses’ and uses robotic environmental sensing logic to record the body’s condition in real time. It delivers personalized lighting to high-stress areas via rhythmic vibration and precise graphene thermal care, enabling a seamless transition between active movement and static rest for maximum energy recovery.
VivaFit™ Adaptive Support System: Designed using a global anthropometric database, this system provides a precise fit for users 150–190 cm. The innovative MagicArms™ technology features a multi-dimensional, robot-level adjustment mechanism, which works with adaptive memory foam to ensure a secure, customized fit for more than 8 hours.
The Future: A Tease for the Nova Series (released June 2026)
Building on the Viva Series, VivaNova has officially announced the Nova Series, the world’s first AI-native smart chair, which will hit the market in June 2026. This represents a systemic upgrade of the concept of an “Intelligent Companion” and means the deep integration of robotics into everyday life.
The Nova series will faithfully replicate the humanoid robot’s closed-loop “Perception-Decision-Execution” system. It uses a multi-dimensional sensor array to identify the user, monitor posture changes and track fatigue trends in real time. It then autonomously generates intervention strategies via robot-level algorithms – whether actively adjusting support contours, guiding body movements or activating precise soothing programs.
In Nova’s definition, a chair is no longer a “reactive device”; it becomes a “proactive companion”. While users focus on creative work, it provides distraction-free support; when fatigue occurs, it actively intervenes to promote recovery. This “Proactive Care” embodies VivaNova’s core mission to transform robot technology into a life companion, deeply realizing the value of “Inspire Creativity”.
Global vision: empowering makers
The debut attracted widespread attention from top designers, engineers and high-end channel partners in Germany, Sweden, France and beyond. Attendees praised the unique experience, noting that the Viva series successfully proves that “sedentary is not the same as static,” fundamentally upending the industry’s cognitive model of ergonomic seating.
During the fair, VivaNova established preliminary cooperation intentions with several high-end European home channels and health technology platforms, marking a solid starting point for its global expansion.
“We believe the next era of AI is about empowering and expanding humanity – an era defined by empathy and symbiosis between humans and technology,” said Summer Yang, founder of VivaNova. “Technology should not be a cold tool, but a companion that enhances human potential. Our mission is to use humanoid robotic technology to understand and care for the body, so that every creator can break free from health limitations. We are building an Intelligent Companion that truly understands you.”
From its debut in Cologne to the upcoming Nova launch, VivaNova has been steadfast in developing smart health products from ‘tools’ to ‘life companions’, offering users around the world a new experience of active health.
