Fanimation's engineering and design teams are encouraged to think outside the box and create functional art that is extremely energy-efficient. Founded 27 years ago by Tom Frampton, Fanimation ceiling fans have always stood out from the crowd by embracing the spirit of “What if?” The result has been a bevy of ceiling fan designs that are remarkable in their looks as well as performance. Tom’s son, Nathan, serves as President of the company, and was recently awarded the 2011 Industry Leadership Award as voted by the readers of Residential Lighting magazine. Never settling for the status quo, Fanimation is perpetually on a quest for improving the ceiling fan category. The company has also increased its commitment to sustainable and energy-efficient practices by not only offering a wide selection of Energy Star®-rated ceiling fans, but by upgrading its warehouse operations with energy-efficient lighting and using recycled materials in its product packaging. Fanimation currently offers a head-turning one-bladed ceiling fan called the Marea; the five-blade Landan ceiling fan with LED ambient lighting and a DC motor; and rust-resistant, wet location-rated Zonix and Cancun fans.
