Elevate Your Design, Not Just the Worksurface.

Pneumatic columns offer silent, near-instant height adjustability that outperform traditional motorized desks. By removing the tether of electricity, Kesseböhmer empowers designers to build fluid, high-performance workspaces that are ready for anything.

The Pneumatic
Advantage

Instant Response

Adjust from sit-to-stand in < 2 seconds. No waiting for motors; just intuitive, seamless movement.

Total Floorplan Freedom

100% power-free operation. Design layouts based on collaboration and light, not outlet locations.

BIFMA x5.5 Compliant

Engineered and tested to meet the rigorous durability standards of the contract furniture industry.

Sustainability by Design

Zero electricity consumption and a reduced e-waste footprint. A mechanical solution for a greener floorplan.

TM Q70/71

Bold, structural presence for primary workstations.

TM Q51

Slim, architectural line for refined side-surfaces.

TM R70/71

Classic, balanced diameter for universal applications.

TM R40

Ultra-lean footprint for mobile and occasional tables.

FlexiLift Counterbalance

The Gold Standard in Pneumatic Precision. Give users total control without the cords. The FlexiLift handles off-center loads with ease, providing a smooth, premium feel that matches the quality of high-end executive desking.

Standard Counterbalance

Streamlined Performance for Scaled Projects. The ideal solution for high-volume projects with fixed weight requirements. High-speed adjustability meets cost-efficiency, pre-set at the factory for rapid assembly.

Progress Twin

Rapid Response for Collaborative Zones. Transform a workstation from sit to stand in under two seconds. The Progress Twin offers a full range of motion for diverse user heights, perfect for hot-desking and agile floorplans.

Progress Mono

A compact, single-column powerhouse built on the TM Q70 platform. Ideal for touchdown spots, mobile lecterns, or side tables where a minimal footprint is required without sacrificing speed or stability.

FAQ

Precision Engineering for the Agile Office.

In a contract environment, the most expensive desk is the one that requires a service call. By eliminating the motors and control boxes that commonly fail in electric desks, our pneumatic systems significantly reduce maintenance overhead. You are investing in a 15–20+ year mechanical lifecycle that outlasts multiple generations of motorized alternatives.

Without the need for power cords, you are no longer restricted by the location of floor cores or wall outlets. This allows for higher-density layouts and collaborative clusters that can be reconfigured by the users themselves without a visit from an electrician.

Yes. For our two-leg workstations, the Counterbalance System uses high-strength internal synchronization bands to ensure both columns move in unison. This prevents binding or tilting, even if the user has heavy equipment positioned on one side of the desk, ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Absolutely. Our technology supports green building initiatives by requiring zero daily electricity. Furthermore, by removing the circuit boards and copper-intensive motors found in electric desks, you are significantly reducing the e-waste footprint of the project.

We offer a range of force-rated springs to accommodate everything from lightweight laptop stations to heavy-duty surfaces. Because some systems are factory-set for specific weight ranges to ensure safety and synchronization, we work closely with you during the specification process to match the lift force to your specific worksurface material.

Our team in Grand Rapids, MI acts as an extension of your design process. We can provide detailed technical data, dimensional drawings, and engineering consultations to ensure our pneumatic columns integrate perfectly with your custom furniture designs or floor plates.
