From the Matthews-Gerbar Collection by Matthews Fan Company.

Like satellites orbiting a planet, the Brisa's select mahogany blades and counterweight gently orbit around its spherical gear housing. Manufactured since 2004, the motor head can be postioned along a 180-degree arc for optimum air movement; the greater the angle of the motor to the horizontal support rods, the faster the axial rotation. A slow, controlled axial rotation is acheived by both motor head position and fan blade speed. Brazilian made fan bodies are made at individual work stations, not mass produced on assembly lines; each fan is hand assembled by one person.

• Circulates heating and air conditioning more efficiently than traditional paddle ceiling fans.
• Constructed of cast aluminum and heavy spun and stamped steel
• Metal blades with guard (this item is special order and has an 8-10 week lead time) or ecologically-harvested mahogany blades with no blade guards
• Motor mount and fan head knob of genuine marbelized bakelite
• Downrods are field-cuttable

Airflow measured in cubic feet per minute at high speed (CFM) = 3087 Wood / 2497 Metal
Watts at high speed = 109
Airflow efficiency at high speed (CFM/Watts) = 28 Wood / 23 Metal
