Overview
The Modern Fan Co. presents itself as the original and premier source for modern ceiling fans, producing an exclusively modern collection. The company states that it was the first to conceive of an updated aesthetic for the ceiling fan category, becoming the de facto originators of the modern ceiling fan. Its products emphasize mechanical simplification, geometric forms and contemporary finishes, aimed at professional specifiers and design-minded homeowners. The collection includes DC-motor fans with solid wood blades, stitched leather and optional LED lighting, with designs by Ron Rezek and Guto Indio da Costa.
History
According to the company's About page, in 1986 Ron Rezek was approached with the task of updating the 100-year-old ceiling fan. An industrial designer with prior success in the lighting and furniture industries, Rezek embraced the opportunity to introduce modern design to a long-ignored product category. The Stratos fan (1988) was born and forged the path for an evolution in ceiling fan design. The company states that at a time when ceiling fans were unimaginative, old-fashioned and largely rejected by architects, designers and modern-design enthusiasts, The Modern Fan Co. was the first to conceive of an updated aesthetic for the category, becoming the de facto originators of the modern ceiling fan. Brazilian designer Guto Indio da Costa is described as the newest contributor to Modern Fan's assortment; his IC/Air Series was brought from Brazil to the U.S. market in collaboration with Modern Fan.
