Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The Warp Ceiling Fan reimagines what a ceiling fixture can be, a striking, infinitely warped silhouette creating an immersive visual experience that is instantly iconic. With its distinctive geometric form, Warp stands in bold contrast to the flat planes and conventional shapes of traditional ceiling fans. With a streamline install process functionality for low ceiling apartment needs beyond aesthetics, Warp integrates wireless smart controls, where innovation moves both air and imagination.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the concave form of airline engines and the dynamic flow of a 3-spoke jet propeller, the Warp DC Smart Energy Efficient Ceiling Fan was designed to leave a bold impression. Its high-curvature, contoured shape reduces drag and boosts efficiency, blending aerodynamic performance with a striking, unconventional design.
- Research
- This type of research is about the application of aerodynamic principles to generate more airflow on a ceiling device while maintaining its own unique design identity that can be identified instantly. The methodology involved studying conventional flat planed ceiling fan assembly and experimenting to reduce the excess parts count, weight, that contributes towards vibration, and wind noise to occur reducing overall efficiency. The research objectives revolved around creating an easy to assemble design that is lightweight,yet functional and unique by applying the study or aerodynamics to reduce wind drag, and harness a higher airflow rate in comparision to traditional ceiling fans.
- Challenge
- The hardest part of the research activity was refining the initial design sketches to make it practical for generating more airflow in a lightweight assembly.
- Realization and Technology
- The Warp was developed first to test its airflow enhancing shape Its interlocking blades form a stable triangle eliminating the need for blade holders and reducing vibration and noise Screws are hidden deep in the assembly for a clean look and smoother airflow With a Energy Efficient motor Warp delivers higher airflow than standard fans Its flush design suits low ceilings and the wind shear proof mount ensures wobble free quiet operation
- Operation and Interaction
- The Warp ceiling fan offers six speed control with dual direction airflow clockwise and counterclockwise via remote For advanced applications it supports variable voltage control for integration with commercial and building management systems It also comes with voice control ready and smart control functions for use with Google Home Alexa Smart Life application and more
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in December 2023 in Singapore and finished in November 2024 in Singapore.
