Desk Fan is a minimalist fan created by Tokyo-based designer Kazushige Miyake. After having graduated from the product design department at Tama Art University, Miyake relocated to England and, after having gained further experience at a design office there, returned to Japan in 1999. While being compact in size, this USB desk fan delivers powerful air output with little noise through its uniquely shaped dual inverse blades. This is not a miniature electric fan, the designers aimed for a form that would be an icon for “desk fans”.
