Product: Big Ass Fans Haiku

The 13.2-lb., 60″-diameter Haiku fan by Big Ass Fans produces less than 34 dBA. Available in caramel or cocoa, the fan features three aerodynamic airfoils made from sustainably harvested, kiln-dried bamboo with a solvent-free finish. The Energy Star–qualified fan uses 2W to 30W and offers seven fan speeds and three additional settings: Sleep, Timer, and Whoosh, the last of which emulates natural variations in airflow. The airfoils may also come in a matrix composite material, which is UL-listed for damp environments. bigassfans.com
