Modern Fan
April 25, 2009 by modernicusA cool addition to an Eichler or any modern home, the Ball fan from The Modern Fan Co.
Consciously Cool
Modern Fans can keep you comfortable while helping to reduce energy consumption in several ways. Like a nice breeze on a warm day, moving air offers recognizable relief from heat and humidity (scientists have a term for what’s happening on your skin-“evaporative cooling.”). This “cooling” effect allows for upward adjustment of your AC thermostat by as much as 8 degrees, resulting in up to 40% reduction in power consumption. In many cases, air conditioning can be turned off entirely, with a Modern Fan using less electricity than a standard light bulb.Additional reductions and savings are gained in cooler seasons when Modern Fans are used to re-circulate heated air that would otherwise remain trapped or stratified near the ceiling. Furthermore, we offer longlife, color-balanced compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) options with nearly all of our products. CFLs use only 25% of the energy consumed by equivalent incandescent or halogen lamps.

Custom pole shelving…
December 14, 2008 by modernicus…that’s what we’re into for a long while now.
We’ve been looking mainly at ISS and Rakks, and IKEA too.
Since we are not in New York, we’ll probably vote for ISS vs Rakks, and here’s a nice comparison of the two designs.
On the IKEA part, these are the 3 systems that we’re looking at:
- Broder, the heavy-duty system
- Stolmen, originally designed as closet storage and hacked into bookshelves
- Änga, the new media storage
- Apartment Therapy: ISS Designs – Modern System Shelving
More systems from Ligne Roset, Vitsoe.
