Ceiling fan designs have come a long way in the past couple of years. With a more eco-conscious generation, people are shunning their energy guzzling air conditioners for the much more economical and highly efficient ceiling fans. However, no one can be expected to go green with the likes of your grandmother’s ceiling fan, complete with wood veneer blades and tiffany-style lampshades! No no, we require fans that have a lunar counterweight which, along with the fan, can orbit around it’s spherical gear housing!

The Matthews Fan Company constructs these beauties out of cast aluminum, heavy gauge spun and stamped steel, Bakelite and ecologically harvested mahogany. Each of their designs is also available in brushed nickel, polished chrome, polished copper, polished brass, dark bronze and black lacquer finishes.

The one pictured above is the Brisa 2000. Check out the Duplo-Dinamico and the Air-Ruthiane below as just a couple of the other available designs.
