FANAWAY® Retractable Blade Ceiling Fan
FANAWAY® is an advanced ceiling fan with unique aesthetics and energy efficient design. Switched off, the traditionally intrusive fan blades automatically retract and conceal, and visually the unit transforms into a slim, modern light pendant. Turning the fan on creates a centrifugal force which deploys the blades to circulate air within a room. It creates open space in the room environment, accumulates less dust, and is unobtrusive and versatile to visually integrate into most building interiors.
Function and quality of interior space
Fanaway functions both as a light pendant and a ceiling fan. The unit effectively hides the blades from view when not in use. When the fan is turned on, the blades gracefully open out and start pushing air as required. When switched off and the motor starts slowing, the blades slowly retract into the unit and are hidden from view. By hiding the blades when not in use, the space around the normally obtrusive blades is cleared creating a less cluttered overhead environment.
Apart from providing a clutter free environment, Fanaway provides a very different environment in comparison to standard ceiling fans or lights. Using quality materials and finishes, Fanaway sets its own standard from an interior design and styling perspective.
