The stylish, eco-friendly designer fan

Designer wood fan wins gold medal at 2019 Lépine competition

A designer alternative to energy-hungry air conditioners

The Williwaw beechwood stand fan is a French design combining an efficient and economical motor.

Each component is selected for its durability, and transport is optimized to reduce its carbon impact.

Ventilation
The top-of-the-range Williwaw fan ensures extensive air distribution, ranging from a gentle puff to a strong, silent breeze.
Automation
Program then forget: Operate the Williwaw via its app for easy temperature control and convenient programming. This fan combines optimal airflow and quiet operation for enhanced comfort and ease of use.
Destratification
The Williwaw’s pivoting head adapts its air flow to the seasons: in winter, it channels warm air from the ceiling to the living areas, distributing heat efficiently.
Durability
Made from steel, beechwood and polycarbonate, and assembled with screws, the Williwaw is remarkable for its sturdiness and ease of repair. Quiet but efficient, it comes with a 10-year warranty on mechanical parts and a 2-year warranty on electronic components, guaranteeing excellent value for money.

The perfect wooden floor fan for any living space

Quiet, economical and durable: the Williwaw uses just 5 watts to ventilate a room, far less than the 2500 watts of a traditional air conditioner, while offering a powerful, virtually inaudible motor.

The perfect fan for bedrooms: the ideal ecological ventilation solution for deep, peaceful nights, even in the hottest weather.

A more economical floor-mounted fan

Let’s take a 50m2 room with a 3.5m ceiling height as an example. The carbon impact retained by ADEME is 79g CO ” per kWh.

They are cool and have made a sustainable choice

Over 2000 Williwaw already sold. 5/5 on all reviews

What a magnificent innovation from the ingenious Stéphane Thirouin, who has created his williwaw with both design and technology
A cool breeze in the silence and comfort of its remote-controlled mini thermostat, and with a concern for low energy consumption that we all hold dear. Finally, a child’s memory resurfaces of the well-thought-out, playful assembly of this work of art.

Jay Giulia (confirmed customer) – June 25, 2023

Perfect nights without the infernal noise of spinning blades, very low power consumption and great design. And the added bonus of being able to control it from your phone is really nice!

Laurenn (confirmed customer) – July 2, 2020

We suffered through the heatwave of summer 2022 and it was perfect to have the fan blowing its little breeze over our bed, without a sound.

The power consumption of 5 to 10W on the first gears is infinitely ridiculous compared with an air-conditioner, for equivalent or even superior comfort (no sensation of cold).

In the end, we use it mainly in winter to circulate the warm air in our living room, and it’s difficult to quantify the gains in heating costs, as everything depends on the thermostat setting. On the other hand, there are real gains in terms of comfort, with our feet feeling less cold.

As a bonus, we now use it between seasons and in winter to dry our clothes on the drying rack: after an evening+night of 12h of blowing at fairly low speed (say 10W) in front of the drying rack, the clothes are almost dry, no unpleasant smell of mildew and, above all, a consumption of 12*10=120Wh! Again, ridiculous compared to a tumble-dryer cycle which happily exceeds 1000Wh, even for the most economical (heat pump).

François Garcia (confirmed customer) – July 9, 2021

Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s just as efficient as an air-conditioner, much more environmentally friendly and, above all, consumes much less energy.

Quality has to be paid for. It’s time to encourage innovation by French designers!

François Garcia (confirmed customer) – July 9, 2021

It’s the third one I’ve bought. We have one for each bedroom, and we no longer have to worry about the heatwave at night.
Not a sound and a breeze that feels good!
We would never have invested in an air-conditioner for ecological reasons, but this product convinced us. It’s an investment, but well worth it, especially as it also runs in winter in the living room with mezzanine, tempering the room. And he’s so handsome!

An innovative French creation

I’m Stéphane Thirouin, a designer with a passion for creating objects that are useful, durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Faced with a sweltering heatwave, determined to avoid air conditioning for ecological reasons and dissatisfied with the performance of existing fans, I decided to design the Williwaw, a fan that’s quiet, powerful, energy-efficient and durable.
