l fresco living is where it’s at. If you don’t believe us, take a look at current design trends. For the better part of the last two decades, architects have been creating homes with glass wall systems that can—quite literally—open up living and entertaining spaces to the great outdoors. As the boundary between indoor and outdoor living blurs, people are spending more and more time outside. But there’s an art and, more specifically, a product that allows discerning homeowners to do that in utmost comfort.
Whether you’re entertaining friends out on the veranda, whipping up some seasonal fare in your outdoor kitchen, or working on that putting stroke on your covered, synthetic practice green, warm-weather living is at its best when you’ve got a Big Ass Fan. That’s not a crude way of suggesting any large ceiling fan will do. We’re literally talking about Big Ass Fans, a company whose catchy name—believe it or not —came about organically. According to the story, the business was originally named HVLS Fan Company, but as word spread about the company’s innovative products, customer service specialists continuously fielded calls from prospective buyers asking, “Are you the guys who make those big ass fans?” Just like that, Big Ass Fans was born, complete with a cheeky donkey mascot named Fanny.
After more than a decade in the industry, setting the bar for airflow in industrial and commercial spaces, the company redefined the residential ceiling fan in 2012 with the introduction of the revolutionary Haiku Outdoor, a trendsetting three-bladed ceiling centerpiece designed around maximum comfort and style. But it’s more than just an ultra-sleek-looking fan, the Haiku is smart, too, with built-in temperature and humidity sensors, smart home integration, and a motor that delivers whisper-quiet performance. “Since its introduction in 2012,” says Leah Larson, president of Big Ass Fans, “the Haiku has become a symbol of our dedication to quality, design, and performance.”
The model has earned more than 75 international design awards since its introduction, which reflects the company’s commitment to research and development. On average, the R&D team devotes two years to the conception and construction of a new model. Take Haiku Coastal, the new iteration of that flagship product, for example. Significant capital (both time and resources) was spent testing the fan in hurricane conditions, which ensures it can withstand the most extreme weather.
With either Haiku model, customers can choose between sustainable bamboo or aircraft-grade aluminum airfoils, both of which are available in a variety of modern finishes. Handcrafted in Lexington, Kentucky, the fans are, as the company describes them, “a backyard flex” and the stylish design elements that will revolutionize your outdoor living spaces.
“We are proud to be pioneers in the air cooling and comfort space,” says Larson. “And we remain dedicated to delighting customers with new solutions that are distinct and of unparalleled quality.”
