About Warp Primary Function: Umuyaga wo ku Gisenge
Book Text: Mu isoko ryuzuyemo ibisanzwe, umuyaga wo ku gisenge witwa Warp ugaragara nk'igisubizo gitandukanye cyane n'imiterere isanzwe y'imiyaga yo ku gisenge. Imiterere yawo igenda neza kandi ihindagurika mu buryo butagira iherezo ihindura igisenge icyo ari cyo cyose mu ishusho ya geometiri igenda, bikawutandukanya ako kanya n'amababa aringaniye n'imiterere isanzwe y'umubiri byamaze igihe kirekire bikayobora iki cyiciro. Ariko Warp si iby'uburanga gusa. N'ubwo igaragara nk'iy'ejo hazaza, itanga ubworohere bwo kwshyirwaho mu ntambwe eshatu, igeza imiterere y'ejo hazaza ku myanya isanzwe ya buri munsi.
The Recognition
About the Igihembo cya A' Design Award cya Buronze
Warp Primary Function: Umuyaga wo ku Gisenge ni uwegukanye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cya Buronze, ishimwe ry'agaciro gakomeye ritangwa ku bishushanyo by'indashyikirwa birangwa no guhanga, ubwenge n'ubushishozi. Abegukanye Buronze ni ibihangano bifite ubuhanga bwinshi kandi bihanga cyane, bishimangira uburambe, ubwenge n'ubushobozi bw'ababihanze. Warp Primary Function: Umuyaga wo ku Gisenge biteganyijwe ko izaba ikintu cyubahwa, gishimwa kandi gikundwa, gifite ubunyamwuga n'udushya. Iki gishushanyo cyegukanye Buronze gikoresha uburyo bwiza mu buhanzi, ubumenyi, ubushushanyo n'ikoranabuhanga kandi kirarenze mu gutaha ku tuntu duto. Warp Primary Function: Umuyaga wo ku Gisenge ishimisha ibyo dukeneye, ikora ku byifuzo byacu, itwara amarangamutima yacu kandi ikurura amatsiko yacu.

- 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
