Haiku: The Reinvention of Ceiling Fans

A Contemporary and Energy Efficient Design

Seeking inspiration from wind turbines, micro-airborne vehicles, and airplane wings, Big Ass Fans designed Haiku, a high-efficiency airfoil ceiling fan that moves large amounts of air with minimum resistance for maximum efficiency. Haiku’s three-dimensional curvature offers a vast improvement in performance over flat blades.

Haiku is a true original, designed from scratch by Big Ass Fans to address the shortcomings of existing fans. Its direct current (DC) motor offers unprecedented efficiency and silent operation. The 13-step hand-balancing process ensures that no fan will ever rattle or wobble, providing a smooth and quiet experience.

What sets Haiku apart is its unique design. The handcrafted Thin SheetTM airfoils connect seamlessly at the center, creating a sleek and minimalist look. Every Haiku undergoes multiple quality inspections and a 13-step balancing process to ensure the highest level of craftsmanship and performance. Haiku’s Sensorless Drive Technology delivers nearly twice the efficiency of conventional ceiling fan motors, making it the most energy-efficient ceiling fan in the world. In fact, it exceeds ENERGY STAR’s efficiency requirements by an impressive 450%.

Haiku’s airfoils are made from Moso bamboo or a glass-infused matrix composite. Experienced furniture craftsmen oversee the bamboo airfoil creation process, ensuring precision and accuracy. Matrix composite airfoils undergo a three-pass finish with automotive-grade paint, guaranteeing long-lasting durability and aesthetics. Haiku is available in various sizes and drop tube lengths, allowing for easy installation and customization.

Operating Haiku is a breeze. Its axial flux permanent magnet motor enables cool, quiet, and smooth operation. With seven speeds and special features like timer and sleep modes, Haiku offers versatility and convenience. The exclusive WhooshTM mode simulates the variations of natural airflow, increasing perceived cooling by up to 40%. Controlled by a sleek remote, Haiku is not only functional but also fun and easy to operate.

Recognized for its innovation and design excellence, Haiku was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components category in 2014. This prestigious award honors designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.

With its revolutionary design, exceptional performance, and energy efficiency, Haiku by Big Ass Fans is the reinvention of ceiling fans, setting a new standard for the industry.
