Immersed in Natural Craftsmanship
Designed for Cyan Design, Kona Fan blends rattan craftsmanship with a minimal cylindrical housing and three-blade design. Collaborating with local artisans, we refined weaving techniques and bespoke metalwork, creating rattan sleeves that balance precision with tactility. The result is a fan that seamlessly integrates into coastal and farmhouse interiors, where material, movement, and function align in quiet harmony.

Reflecting high-level craftsmanship into products, turning everyday into the essence of strength and aesthetic.
Every particulars of design and manufacture is detail-oriented, making the finished product close to the ideal state in both function and form. We have created a dramatic evocation of arc, engaging the viewer in an ever-changing atmosphere of art piece – much like the rhythm of a torque itself. Suspended from a slim downrod, just like the illusion of living art piece.

Minimal Tri-blade fan design
Kona Fan is a tri-blade design, defined by three precisely angled blades converging at the rotating axis. The hand-painted oak grain on ABS blades ensures durability while maintaining an elegant, natural aesthetic.
