Sycamore Ceiling Fan

Filed under: Decor


I remember when I was kid getting such a kick when there was a big gust of wind and all the dried seeds would come twirling down like waves of little helicopters from the trees. Well apparently nature has the right idea, because it turns out the design of a Sycamore seed makes for an extremely efficient ceiling fan. It creates the same air flow with less noise and at slower speeds than traditional fans, and because it runs slower the natural form and beauty of the dynamically balanced blade is visible even when the fan is in use. Plus the Sycamore Ceiling Fan has a great modern look for those looking for something other than the usual 4 or 5 blade design.

Sky Ceilings

Filed under: Decor

In an ideal world, everyone would have at least one skylight looking out into a beautiful, clear expanse of space. As it is, we have weather, pollution and sometimes a second-story or upstairs apartment getting in the way of our would-be view. The Sky Factory's Sky Ceilings solve all of those problems. They are photographs of real skies on special opaque tiles that can be mounted over lights to give a natural, luminous effect. The lighting systems provide "daylight-balanced light," which the body will actually recognize as "natural." Hundreds of ultra-high resolution images are available to choose from, so you can open up your space to the great outdoors - or at least feel that way. Prices vary depending on design, size and lighting options.
