Since 1985 MrKen has become established as one of the leading Asian ceiling fan brands.  They are based in Thailand and manufacturer a great range of designer fans.  Mr Ken himself is from Taiwan having previously worked for 20 years in the largest factory producing fans for Hunter before he started MrKen in 1985.  He has chosen to source motors exclusively produced in Taiwan, what is regarded within the industry as the best ceiling fan motor factory in the World.  Taiwan has a rich and long tradition of manufacturing high quality energy-efficient motors using invertors not only for ceiling fans but for many other industries.  They are more expensive than mainland China but they are far superior in build quality and reliability, eg their motor windings are made from 100% copper and not mixed with cheaper aluminium, the capacitors are specified for a 20 year lifespan not 2 etc. Their designs are truly amazing which has made them very popular with architects and interior-designers across Asia where they are found in many up-market hotels, restaurants and homes throughout the region.  Their MrKen 3D designer fan alone sells over 15,000 units a year throughout Asia.  Henley Fan were appointed their exclusive distributor in Europe in December 2015.

The Matthews Fan Company has been established for over 40 years in the US as a specialist fan manufacturer with the Matthews and Atlas brand names.  They make arguably the World’s best range of quality fashionable rotating wall, desk and ceiling fans.  They also manufacture upmarket bespoke custom hand-assembled wall and ceiling fans for those wishing to make a real design statement in their interior space.  Their designs mainly have a strong retro style but there are a few very modern ones such as the Eliza “stealth” ceiling fan which is almost invisible in white.   Although we have been selling them on an ad-hoc basis for a number of years we were formally appointed their exclusive UK and EC distributors in March 2016. Matthews fans are all specially coated to make them rust resistant and suitable for damp or humid climates. There is even a fully IP wet-rated ceiling fan in 316 stainless steel that is rust-proof even in a salt sea spray environment. Matthews fans all come with a Lifetime Warranty.

Lucci air is the ceiling fan arm of a large public Australian lighting company Beacon Lighting, which for almost 50 years has been a leader in lighting and associated products.  It is the biggest lighting and ceiling fan retail chain in Australia with over 80 superstores. They have combined European design flair with engineering specifications and quality control standards that are the highest in the industry.  We replaced the first DC motor generation VAM Factory ceiling fan range with the newer motor technology Lucci as they are the same appearance but these have a much better build quality and are far more reliable.   They also have a German GS safety quality approval. These ultra-low energy DC fans use pioneering technology to make them up to 70% more efficient than an equivalent AC fan. The power is so low (an incredible 3w at low speed and 35w at max) that they can just be left on 24 x 7 which is useful to cool a hot room down at night even if no one is there as it will draw in the cooler outside air in through the windows. They have created a great quality fan at a great price, hence the 10 year guarantee (1 year on the remote and light kit).  They come with a 6 speed remote control.  It is easy to see why these great fans are some of the most popular in Asia Pacific and Southern Europe.  Henley Fan have been the UK and European distributors for Lucci air since 2012.

Minka Aire is a Californian brand who have designed fashionable lights for over 70 years and around 12 years ago they applied their design skills to ceiling fans with some beautiful results such as the incredible Artemis.  The Artemis represents the best blend of form and function you can find where the blades are incorporated into and form part of the motor housing. Winner of the 2005 Chicago Atheneaum Museum of Architecture and Design’s good design award it is a true design statement. These ceiling fans are intended for large rooms and provide a unique point of interest.  This fan was designed by the late, legendary lighting designer George Kovacs, who for 50 years set the standards with his vision for unique contemporary designs. These fans are ideal for expensive up-market restaurants, bars, hotels and shops where you want to communicate thoughtfulness and make the customer feel special and taken care of.  We stock the full range of finishes and it has become a very popular best selling fan.The finishes are black, dark koa wood, white, translucent and of course the truly amazing liquid nickel.  These come with a lifetime warranty on the motor and can be controlled by a wall control or by a remote control.

The innovative Fanaway design was conceived by an Australian engineer who has licensed it to the Australian Beacon Lighting giant and also to Hunter who distribute it in the USA under the Hunter brand.  It and has won many awards for its famous retractable blade designs.  We upgraded the manufacturer’s 2 year warranty to be 10 years and also include a remote control with it, something to bear in mind when comparing prices.  Henley Fan have been distributing Fanaway fans since 2011.
