# Bubblegum-Inspired Home Fans The 'Swish' Ceiling Fan Provides a Sculptural Way to Stay Cool By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-10-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-fans References: [homecrux](http://www.homecrux.com/2016/10/07/54212/karim-rashid-nsb-teams-stylish-ceiling-mounted-fan.html) & [nsb.my](http://www.nsb.com.my/index.html) Home fans are a great way to save energy yet stay cool but are often designed in a rather clunky manner, so the 'Swish' ceiling fan aims to put this assumption to rest. Designed in collaboration between NSB Home Appliances and designer Karim Rashid, the 'Swish' ceiling fan features three blades connected to one another. This helps to maintain optimal airflow without the associated risks of traditional ceiling fans. The 'Swish' ceiling fan is inspired by bubblegum and looks as though the candy were actually used to create and form the ultra-modern piece of home decor. Optimal for spaces of all sizes, the 'Swish' ceiling fan can increase airflow up to 11-feet in a space. This helps to enhance what's possible with traditional home fans to limit the need for air conditioners during various times of the year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sculptural Home Fans:** The bubblegum-inspired design of the 'Swish' ceiling fan showcases the potential for aesthetically pleasing and functional home fans. - **Optimal Airflow Technology:** The 'Swish' ceiling fan's interconnected blades introduce a new approach to maintaining optimal airflow, creating opportunities for improved efficiency in cooling systems. - **Energy-saving Cooling Solutions:** The 'Swish' ceiling fan offers an alternative to air conditioners, highlighting the trend towards eco-friendly and cost-effective cooling solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance Industry:** The bubblegum-inspired 'Swish' ceiling fan demonstrates a potential area of innovation and growth in the home appliance industry, combining functionality with modern design. - **Interior Design Industry:** The sculptural and visually appealing design of the 'Swish' ceiling fan opens up new possibilities for incorporating stylish and functional home decor in interior design projects. - **Energy Efficiency Industry:** The optimal airflow technology of the 'Swish' ceiling fan presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the energy efficiency industry, offering more efficient cooling solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multipurpose Living Space Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-circulation-fan.md) - [Smart Ceiling Fan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fanpro.md) - [Stylish High-Performance Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-turboblade.md) - [Rectangular Bladeless Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rectangular-bladeless-fans.md) - [Lamp-Equipped Fan Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abode-gale-fan.md) - [Connected Open-Concept Ceiling Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atomi-smart-ceiling-fan.md) - [Whole Room-Cooling Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drew-air-circulator-pedestal-fan.md) - [Modern Compact Wooden Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastic-fan.md) - [Two-in-One Rechargeable Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appliance-concept.md)
