Duplex is a high performance 48-inch indoor ceiling fan that offers chic form and high function. The housing is shrouded in a translucent charcoal gray shell and the metal blade ring features scalloped detailing, adding interest and refinement to the understated design. Slender blade wings gently twist at the base, making it easy to move great volumes of air. Duplex offers six powerful speed options and an LED light kit that offers excellent illumination.

Role: Duplex was designed at Michael Graves Architecture and Design for Fanimation. I sketched, 3D modeled, and rendered this concept with direction from MGA&D Principals Yuka Midorikawa and Donald Strum.

Details

Simple and sleek, Duplex combines a low-luster matte finish with a deep smoked glass motor cover and matching light bezel.

Functionality

This dual-bladed fan is the perfect addition to any modern space.
