Imagine a chair tough enough to handle back-to-back Zoom meetings, a full day in a call centre, or an all-nighter in a control room (and even a gaming marathon!).
That chair has officially landed in New Zealand, bringing with it the same robust dependability that’s made it a firm favourite across the Tasman.
This isn’t just any old office chair: it’s purpose-built for long hours in high-pressure environments. Step into one of our stockists’ showrooms and ask for a heavy-duty option that’s built for round-the-clock use, and this is the one they’ll roll out.
Wondering what makes the Buro Maverick 24/7 Controller Chair such a force in office seating? Let’s take a closer look.
Why movement matters
In a recent blog, physiotherapist Jarryd Croxford told us how important it is to move regularly during your workday. Even standing for a minute or two every half hour can significantly reduce the risk of workplace injury, he explained.
Pair the habit of regular movement with a well-designed chair, and you’ve got a strong foundation for sustainable, productive work.
Ergonomic by design
Ergonomics is about understanding how the body behaves during long hours at a desk, and coming up with seating solutions that encourage natural movement while making a healthy seated posture second nature.
The Buro Maverick is designed with that principle at its core. Its ergonomic features include:
- An extra-high backrest with contoured spinal support from your lower back through to your shoulders.
- Height- and depth-adjustable headrest to relieve pressure on your neck and shoulders.
- A wide, padded seat to let your leg fall into its natural position.
- Lumbar support that adapts as you move during a long shift.
- Retractable folding armrests to lean on when you need to, and extra space when you don’t.
- A synchronised backrest that moves with you and can be locked in place when you want stability.
Whether you’re monitoring multiple screens or powering through a marathon day at your desk, the Buro Maverick will keep you comfortable and focused while allowing for those all-important micro-movements.

An office chair that’s built for the long haul
It’s one thing to design a chair that promotes healthy movement and posture; it’s another to build it so it survives day after day in demanding environments. As a certified 24/7 controller chair, the Buro Maverick is tested for constant use, making it an obvious choice for workplaces where shifts never stop.
The core mechanism is rock-solid, so you can lean back and push against the tension without worrying that your chair will wear out. The base is made from sturdy aluminium, and a two-stage gas lift ensures smooth height adjustment even after hundreds of ups and downs.
And because no two workplaces are the same, the Maverick comes with two sets of castors (wheels): one for carpet, the other for hard floors. Either way, you’ll be gliding with ease around your space.
Luxury materials for lasting style and comfort
From sleek control rooms to executive office suites to a sharp work-from-home set up, the Buro Maverick pairs high-performance materials with refined finishes to elevate the aesthetic of your workspace. This includes:
- Breathable top-grain leather or high-end, multi-textured fabrics that add sophistication to any space.
- Plush, upholstered cushioning that looks great, feels better, and won’t lose its shape.
- Smooth swivel and recline functions so you can move naturally between tasks.
- A polished aluminium base with a matt black underside for a clean, contemporary finish.
How does the Buro Maverick hold up as a gaming chair?
Long hours, total focus, and unwavering performance; if this sounds less like work and more like play, you might be one of the many Kiwis in the market for a gaming chair.
Since the Buro Maverick ticks all of these boxes, the natural question is: Does it suit gaming too?
We’ve gone deep comparing office chairs and gaming chairs in a previous blog, but here’s the short version: gaming chairs are known for their bold sportscar-esque style, while office chairs are more understated, designed to blend into professional workspaces and withstand years of daily use.
Some serious gamers prefer a dedicated chair for play and another for work. But for most of us, space and budget make one chair that does both the smarter choice. After all, both share the same core purpose: ergonomic support and long-term comfort.
That’s where the Buro Maverick stands out. It’s one of the few chairs that can move from an all-night gaming session to an early-morning meeting without missing a beat. With a heavy-duty build and bold features to match, it’s equally at home in both worlds.
