The Modern Fan Co. stands alone in bringing original design and innovation to the ceiling fan industry.
The designs celebrate the modern idiom through mechanical simplification, geometric forms and contemporary finishes.
The Modern Fan Company and this Web site represent a new direction for the Ron Rezek designed ceiling fans. The products have been re considered and developed with the needs of the contract client in mind. Many changes have been incorporated into the fans to make them easier to install, more flexible in specification and simpler to maintain. This is the only ceiling fan collection developed exclusively for the needs of the contemporary design professional. We hope it suits your needs.

The Modern Fan Company has
introduced three new designs that are sure to impress and inspire:
The New Aurora ceiling fan is an
innovative design incorporating a 40-watt,T-5 circline lamp positioned in a
translucent diffuser. This lamp and diffuser combination provide the
incandescent equivalent of 180 watts of color corrected, energy saving
fluorescent light, both up and down. Ron
Rezek has managed to incorporate all this into a poetically simple design. The
New Aurora has been engineered to exceed the EPA’s Energy Star guidelines for
air movement and lighting efficiency.
The Halo is a classic
integration of form and function, combining a refined aesthetic with
state-of-the-art air movement and quality lighting. The fan’s decorative
characteristics emerge from the warm tones of glowing amber glass, or the crisp
combination of a nickel finish with all opal white
glass. Lamping options include 100-watt incandescent, or 26-watt, color
corrected, energy saving compact fluorescent. Unlike other fans on the market,
the New Aurora and the Halo function equally well as luminaires as they do as
ceiling fans. Useful and ample light can now come together with a ceiling fan.
The Ball fan represents a return
to the Company’s roots, deriving from a minimalist approach to ceiling fan
design. A perfect sphere provides visual simplicity while housing all the
components required for exceeding the EPA’s Energy Star guidelines for air
movement efficiency. The Ball fan is
available with options for direct or ambient lighting, and in a gloss white or
brushed aluminum finish.
Modern Fan Co. partners with EPA on Energy Star Program
The Modern Fan Company, a leader in the design and development of new ceiling fan technologies, participated as a Charter Partner in the Environmental Protection Agency's recently launched ENERGY STAR program for ceiling fans. As of January 1st, 2002, qualified ceiling fans are bearing the ENERGY STAR label, indicating these products' superior energy efficiency. Cooperative efforts between several manufacturers and ENERGY STAR consultants established specifications for ceiling fan efficiency requirements, standardized testing methods and facilitated construction of commercial testing facilities.
Of particular importance to the launch of the program was The Modern Fan Company's success with compact fluorescent lighting technology in ceiling fans. In early 2001, as meetings began taking place for the development of the program, Modern Fan was the only manufacturer working with CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps). As it turns out, the lighting component of a ceiling fan uses more electricity than the motor. While motor efficiency is paramount to the ENERGY STAR program, there is an even greater opportunity for energy savings relative to ceiling fan light kits. Hence, use of CFLs is a requirement for a ceiling fan with a light to bear the ENERGY STAR label.
Modern Fan Company founder and
product designer, Ron Rezek, had the foresight and will to incorporate use of
CFLs in his fan designs years ago. Rezek has been a long time proponent of
energy conservation and is thrilled to see increased awareness of the benefits
of CFL technology, and more widespread use. Ceiling fans are an environmentally
correct choice for comfort control as an alternative
to, or in supplementing air conditioning. Now, ENERGY STAR labeled fans and fan
lights ensure even greater savings throughout the year. Over half of The
Modern Fan Company's products currently exceed the criteria set by ENERGY STAR,
and the company is working on several new products designed to meet these
standards.
