JSI Earns Patent for Innovative MagLinx™ Seating System

JSI is proud to announce that MagLinx™, our revolutionary magnetic glide connection system, has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 12,369,712 as of July 29, 2025.

JASPER – In the early days of COVID, healthcare spaces were being stretched, rearranged and reimagined in real time. For the JSI team, one question rose to the surface: How do we make change easier for the people doing the work and the people receiving care?

That question led to the idea behind MagLinx™, a magnetic connection system designed not just to link chairs and tables, but to free up time, reduce strain and help environments evolve without disruption. Today, that idea becomes a milestone: as of July 29, 2025, MagLinx™ will officially hold U.S. Patent No. 12,369,712.

“MagLinx™ grew from watching facility teams struggle with brackets and tools, and asking ourselves, what if it didn’t have to be that hard?” said Jeremy Kibby, lead development engineer at JSI. “This was never about making something flashy; it was about removing friction. About giving people back time and flexibility.”

MagLinx™ is now a core feature of JSI’s Satisse seating collection, a human-centered solution developed with healthcare designer Mike Shields. Recognized with a Nightingale Innovation Award in 2024, Satisse with MagLinx™ connects through a strong magnetic glide, no hardware, no tools, no stress. Furniture can shift from a tightly grouped configuration to open, individual seating in minutes. For healthcare systems and facilities, that means faster reconfiguration, fewer interruptions, and cost savings through future-ready flexibility.
