Tiny Fan Club: The Modern Fan Company

We searched big box hardware stores, lighting shops and a host of online retailers before we found ceiling fans that seemed a good fit for our tiny house. Most we'd seen were too large, many were the wrong style, some didn't rate well for efficiency. Finally, we came across the Modern Fan Company line on Lumens.com, and that's where we found our fans.

As the company itself puts it, Modern Fan Company (MFC) products "celebrate the modern idiom through mechanical simplification, geometric forms and contemporary finishes." MFC's founder, industrial designer Ron Rezak revolutioned traditional fan design by creating the first "rotor slots" that eliminated the need for heavy blade irons. In Rezek's sleek designs, blades fit into the rotor itself. According to Architectural Record, Rezek created "graceful designs for normally clunky fixtures” while promoting "sustainable design practices." Energy efficiency meets smart design.

We have three of MFC's Altus fans spaced down the length of the house. They're quiet, effective and efficient enough to run off our SolMan Classic solar generator without taxing it. We've managed to stay cool in the house on even the hottest of days.
