You’ll be a Fan of this Fan

I live in Los Angeles and, at this very moment, we’re in the midst of a massive heat wave. Unfortunately for me, my preference for style over function has left me with two beautifully tiny yet utterly useless fans! Sigh… if only I had a Conbox.

While many fans are trying to look… well… less fan-like, the Conbox makes the most of of the time-tested form. The upright unit has a minimalistic yet playfully cartoon-like look that won’t cramp your interior style. Better yet, it’s quick and easy to deconstruct and store under a bed or in the closet for those months you don’t need it!

I present to you… FAN.zip

The Conbox channels this beautifully minimal, Muji vibe and to be honest, I’m absolutely loving it! When completely packed, it looks like a modern dimsum steamer, but it’s an entire table fan disassembled, packed neatly into a tiny little box! Designer Jiyoun Kim has a valid point when he says that fans are pretty much a seasonal appliance. You use them in the heat, and then come cold weather, it just sits in the corner gathering dust. Conbox is different that way. Its unique design allows it to be pulled apart and put together in a different orientation, allowing it to be packed. What a clever way of eliminating unnecessary extra packaging!
