Storage-Friendly Wireless Standing Fans

This Folding Fan is Flat-Packed for Easy Winter Storage

— July 6, 2021 — Art & Design
The Folding Fan was designed to tackle the raging heatwaves across the northern USA and Canada. This summer, folks are bracing themselves to encounter record-shattering temperatures across North America. The unbearable heat certainly calls for a durable fan, especially when Air Conditioning is not accessible.

Designed for BOUD, the Folding Fan can be flat-packed for easy winter storage after the sweltering heat dies off. In addition to its storage-friendly design, the standing fan is also completely wireless, making it easily portable. From the living room to the campsite, this design allows the users to carry around a cooling device wherever they go. The fan's simplistic style is available in white or yellow and is set to soon launch in a third color.
