Fandelier brings a fan and lighting into a single freestanding object. The published visualizations show a circular head carried on a slender upright support and a floor base. The relationship between these three parts defines the design.

The circular assembly is the focal element. Its enclosing ring and internal components are studied as a compact composition, while the narrow support leaves the head visually distinct from the base. The exploded model makes the separate parts and their connections legible.

Fandelier combines a floor-standing frame, fan and light in one product study.

Interior views place the object beside a sofa and within a planted corner. These studies establish its scale and show how a functional object can occupy a room without becoming a large piece of furniture.

The design combines lighting and air-movement intentions, but the published images are not measurements of airflow, cooling or illumination. The project is described through its form and assembly rather than unsupported performance figures.

Fandelier belongs to the office’s wider investigation of product design as an extension of architectural thinking. Here the work is concentrated in a compact frame, a circular component and the way an object meets the floor.

The base, upright and circular head form a single vertical arrangement. Their proportions allow the object to be read at room scale and at the closer scale of its individual connections.
