‘wooden fan’
‘dual wooden fan’ by sunghyun an from korea is one of the 240 shortlisted entries from more than 5100 participants in our recent designboom competition ‘design for all‘ in collaboration with seoul design fair 2010.
designer’s own words: ‘the fan is constructed of CNC processed plywood, a small 12V motor and a PWM (pulse width modulation) electronic circuit to control its speed. it provides a cool breeze to the person nearby, using only 10 – 20 percent of the energy required for regular fans, and has adjustable RPMs for optimal efficiency. the goal of this design is to save energy easily by restructuring a product that is often used in every day life.’
stay tuned. the entire list of shortlisted entries from the ‘design for all’ competition will be revealed shortly.
