Company Description
Nova LifeStyle, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVFY), now known as XMax Inc. following a corporate name change approved by shareholders, is a Nevada corporation that has historically focused on the design and distribution of modern lifestyle furniture. According to multiple company press releases, Nova LifeStyle describes itself as a U.S.-headquartered designer and marketer of contemporary styled furniture for middle and upper middle-income consumers in various international markets.
The company’s furniture business centers on modern lifestyle collections that emphasize urban contemporary styling, comfort, and functionality. Its product offering, as described in its news releases and legacy description, includes sofas, dining room furniture, cabinets, office furniture and related components, bedroom furniture, and various accessories. These products are often presented in matching collections and are marketed under product lines that include the Nova Brands and Diamond Sofa names.
In earlier corporate descriptions, Nova LifeStyle and its subsidiaries were described as designing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling residential and commercial furniture, including upholstered, wood, and metal-based pieces. Product categories referenced include chairs, dining tables, beds, entertainment consoles, cabinets, cupboards, and sofas for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. Historically, the company has reached furniture distributors and retailers through internet sales, online marketing campaigns, and participation in exhibitions and trade shows.
Press releases state that Nova LifeStyle’s products are aimed at consumers in the USA, China, Southeast Asia, South America, the Middle East, and other markets. The company highlights that its designs integrate comfort and functionality with upscale luxury aesthetics intended to appeal to middle and upper middle-income buyers. This positioning aligns with its classification in the upholstered household furniture manufacturing industry within the broader manufacturing sector.
Corporate filings show that Nova LifeStyle, Inc. is incorporated in Nevada and has used corporate headquarters in Commerce, California. A definitive proxy statement and subsequent Form 8-K filings describe shareholder approval of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, including an increase in authorized common shares and a change of the corporate name from “Nova LifeStyle, Inc.” to “XMax Inc.” These amendments were filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada and became effective upon filing.
In addition to its core furniture operations, Nova LifeStyle has disclosed activity related to capital markets and investment transactions. Company news reports a best-efforts public offering of common stock and warrants, with proceeds intended for working capital, marketing expenditures, repayment of short-term debt, and capital expenditures. Another release describes a follow-on public offering in which an external investment bank acted as exclusive placement agent, again emphasizing the company’s role as a U.S.-based designer and marketer of modern lifestyle furniture under the Nova Brands and Diamond Sofa labels.
More recently, Nova LifeStyle announced a US$5.66 million investment to subscribe a majority interest in a fund (Preamble Capital, a series of CGF2021 LLC) that, in turn, holds an interest in a fund owning shares of common stock of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX). The company characterized this as part of a strategic transformation toward technology and innovation-driven sectors, including AI-driven smart living solutions, while stating that it remains committed to its core furniture and lifestyle business and views such investments as complementary to existing operations.
Subsequent Form 8-K filings under the new name XMax Inc. describe additional subscription agreements executed by indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries, such as Xmax Alpha Holdings Ltd. and Xmax Beta Holdings Ltd., to acquire substantial interests in funds that invest in SpaceX and in a fund that holds Series B preferred stock of X.AI Corp. Another Form 8-K details a Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement with an institutional purchaser, under which XMax Inc. issued a convertible promissory note with a fixed interest rate and a specified conversion price into common stock, pursuant to Regulation S.
Corporate governance developments are also documented in recent filings. A Form 8-K reports shareholder approval of the name change to XMax Inc. and the increase in authorized shares at a special meeting. Other 8-K filings describe changes in board composition and executive roles, including the appointment of a Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Secretary and the resignation of a former Chairperson of the Board from that role, while noting that certain resignations were not due to disagreements with the company or its management.
Financial press releases provide insight into Nova LifeStyle’s operating performance as a furniture company prior to and during its transition. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent quarters in 2025, the company reported net sales, gross profit, and net loss figures, and management commentary emphasized efforts to revamp product lines, manage inventory levels, address tariff and macroeconomic challenges, and adapt to conditions in the furniture and real estate-related markets. Quarterly updates for 2025 describe changes in net sales, gross profit, and net loss compared with prior-year periods, and reference sales trends in North America and other regions.
Based on the available information, NVFY historically represents Nova LifeStyle, Inc., a Nevada-incorporated, Commerce, California–based furniture designer and distributor targeting middle and upper middle-income consumers through modern lifestyle furniture collections. Through shareholder-approved amendments and subsequent SEC filings, the company has changed its corporate name to XMax Inc. and engaged in fund investments linked to technology-related companies such as SpaceX and X.AI Corp., while publicly stating that its furniture and lifestyle operations remain its core business.
