Skyfans: Keeping Cool

It began more than 21 years ago with partners who shared a vision for handcrafting a uniquely styled hardwood ceiling fan, and in 1998 the Original Paddle Fan®, by Sky Fans, made its first appearance in print.

The initial focus was on commercial cooling and ventilation, including retailing various well-known brands of imported fans. The team identified a potential niche market for a simple and elegant ceiling fan, something of superior quality which could grace the most elegant homes.

They searched far and wide but could find nothing suitable ‘out there’: everything looked like more of the same old-style ceiling fans, lots of gold trim, bells, baubles and whistles, no fresh new classic styles or classy designs, nothing which came even close to the dream of simple yet sophisticated style with superb craftsmanship.

So they went to the drawing board and got creative: after many long nights they narrowed down concepts to one beautiful design, and the brand’s designer (Sally-Anne) concentrated on refining and polishing the rough ideas and sketches, which resulted in the design of the award-winning Original Paddle Fan®.

Featuring an expertly hand-turned hardwood motor cover, with multi ply hardwood paddles, the Original Paddle Fan® soon found a home among quality conscious home owners, architects and designers who appreciate genuine handcrafting and slick styling. Creating and handcrafting a beautiful ceiling fan with simple, aesthetically pleasing lines, and a reliable tried-and-tested ceiling fan motor, took hundreds of hours of development.

Many tweaks and little adjustment and refinements took place in a small workshop, en route to the superbly finished end result: The Original Paddle Fan®, since 1998. The team was thrilled to receive the House Style Award 2000 for the Original Concept and Design back in the year 2000, it still makes them smile! The Sky Fans Designer has a critical eye for detail and it shows in every aspect of these beautiful handcrafted ceiling fans: unique form and reliable function combine to set Sky Fans apart.
