Holiday Inn Phuket, Thailand

MrKen Slim Designer Fan

The MrKen Slim Designer ceiling fan is very popular as it is the same as the MrKen-3D Solid Wood but has a smaller 40″/102cm blade sweep size and so perfect for smaller rooms or spaces.  It is the same powerful motor and beautiful design. It features solid wood blades with the 2nd generation ultra-low energy DC technology. It also has a slightly shorter motor making it ideal for smaller bedrooms or offices where the larger MrKen Wood at 52″/132cm would look overpowering.

This fan is also available either as a hugger/flush mount version with the adapter kit to give a drop from ceiling to bottom of the fan of 23 cm or as a drop rod mounting of 38 cm – a saving of 15cm/6″.

The Caribbean’s No1 rated award-winning top 6* resort Secret Bay Dominica – have installed 11 of these in their reception area in 2023 with 48″ drop rods to bring them down to the optimum level.  They are delighted with the results both in terms of great airflow, silent operation and awesome appearance.

Expensive Light-Weight Strong Solid-Wood Blades – The blade manufacturing process is involved and represents the best-in-class. It starts by taking sheets of paulownia, a fast-growing hardwood cultivated in certified sustainable forests, and compressing them to prevent any warping whilst in a different humidity or climate.  Three sheets are glued together into a block which is then CNC machine milled out into the 3D propeller shape.  The blades are then hand-sanded, finished and painted and then put into sets of three and hand-balanced to avoid any wobble.

The whole process is both very expensive and tricky resulting in over 10% of them being rejected and absorbs over half of the production cost. The result though is a set of beautiful strong, stable and precisely-balanced blades that are light to hold (low-energy use) and turn but which deliver a lovely smooth gentle, wobble-free silent wind.  Don’t be misled by the weak softwood blades found on the many cheap Chinese knock-offs of the MrKen Wood fan that can be found everywhere on the internet.

Get a Better Night’s Sleep – The MrKen Wood fan is completely silent at low speeds and so is perfect for bedrooms where the slightest of noise can be heard in the quiet of the night.  See our Case Study of how one customer deployed this fan in her London flat to solve her sleep problems  MrKen Wood Small City Flat.

The owner was struggling to get a good night’s sleep due to the heat and lack of fresh air and was not being able to open the window much due to being on the ground floor (security risk) and also due to the street noise.  The stuffy hot air got expelled and the cool night free oxygen-laden air was drawn in through the limited window gap.  She got her first decent uninterrupted night’s sleep since moving in and is not waking up 4 or 5 times a night any more.  Studies show that fresh air is medically beneficial to not only your sleep but mental and physical health.

Technical Details

Drop-Rod Version – Unless you have a low ceiling the drop-rod version is recommended and we stock drop-rods of up to 72″/280cm in order to bring the fan down to the optimum height for best performance which is around 2.3m high.  To order a drop-rod please visit the MrKen drop-rod listing.

Hugger Version – For low ceilings the fan can be mounted as a hugger/flush mount version.  To do this a separate adapter kit to reduce the drop of the fan from 38 cm to 23 cm.  Installation instructions are here.

White finish – The white blade and body colour match is not a pure brilliant white colour but a slight off-white (touch of cream) as this is a far popular finish. There are a few small natural flecks/grain and cutting marks from the manufacturing process that you will see on the white blades when looking close up but not notice when the fan is up.  This would be expensive to eliminate completely.  These marks cannot be seen on the other colours so if you prefer a perfect finish then please either go for another colour or the ABS plastic moulded blade version. A traditional 2D plywood blade is another cheaper alternative.

Handset Types – We have two styles of handset control both identical in function.  Your fan will ship with whatever was available in the factory.  If you want a particular style please put this on your order note.

Dimensions – For larger blade size versions see MrKen Wood
