The Design

About Warp Plafongsventilator

An engem Maart, dee vu Konventiounen iwwersättegt ass, hieft sech de Warp Plafongsventilator als e mudege Bruch mat den traditionellen Ästhetike vu Plafongsventilatoren of. Seng fléissend, onendlech verzunn Form mécht aus all Plafong eng Leinwand vun dynamescher Geometrie an ënnerscheet sech direkt vun de flaachen, eebenen Fligele a Standardkierperdesignen, déi dës Kategorie laang dominéiert hunn. Mä de Warp geet et net just ëm d'Optik. Trotz sengem avantgardisteschen Erschéngungsbild bitt en de Komfort vun engem Installatiounsprozess an dräi Schrëtt, sou datt e futuristescht Design fir alldeeglech Raim erreechbar gëtt.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award an Bronze

Warp Plafongsventilator ass e Gewënner vum A' Design Award an Bronze, enger héich prestigiéiser Unerkennung, déi un erausragend Designe vergi gëtt, déi sech duerch Kreativitéit, Erfindungsgab a Schlauheet ausgezeechnen. Bronze-Gewënner si voll Fäegkeet a opfälleg kreativ Wierker, déi déi grouss Erfahrung, d'Fantasie an d'Ressourceréichtum vun hire Designer bestätegen.

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.
Dimensions & Packaging: (W) 1320 mm x 310 mm (H)
Tags: Ceiling fan, Minimalist, Balanced, Energy Efficient Fan, Thematic Ceiling Fan, Luxury Home Interior, Designed With Singapore
Production 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
Design 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.
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.
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.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2023 in Singapore and finished in November 2024 in Singapore.
Operation Flow: 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
