Description
Ipanema spans 117cm across, wide enough to shift air through a room rather than stir it. The wood tone warms the black so the whole thing reads softer overhead than an all dark fitting would. Behind that width sits a DC motor, the quieter sort, drawing 32W when it is working hard. Everything runs from the remote, so there is no pull cord to find in the dark and no getting up from the sofa to change speed.
We would put it in the rooms that get stuffy: an open-plan kitchen and living space, a bedroom under a warm roof, a garden room that bakes by mid afternoon. It is splash protected too, so a covered porch or a sheltered veranda is fair game as long as it stays clear of driving rain. Given the span, it wants a room with height and floor space to match, so a small box bedroom is not the place for it. It is one we reach for where air conditioning would be overkill and a desk fan is simply not enough.
The wood finish sits against black hardware, a pairing that works with oak floors, rattan and darker metalwork elsewhere in the room. Nothing about the shape is fussy; the interest comes from grain against dark trim rather than ornament. For cleaning, switch off, let everything come to a full stop, then take a dry cloth over each surface, using a barely damp one on the housing if dust has settled and drying it off after. It carries a five year warranty. We keep it in this wood and black pairing, and we would run it alongside softer, low level light so the room is not lit from a single point overhead.
