The elegant, eco-friendly designer fan
A stylish alternative to energy-intensive air conditioning
The Williwaw beechwood pedestal fan is a French design combining an efficient, energy-saving motor.
Every component is selected for its durability, and logistics are optimized to minimize the carbon footprint.
The premium Williwaw fan ensures wide air distribution, with an adjustable airflow ranging from a light breeze to a powerful gale. All this is achieved as quietly as possible, producing only 33 to 47 dB(A).
Set it and forget it: control Williwaw via its app for easy temperature management and scheduling. Its thermostat function, linked to the first temperature sensor, allows you to set a threshold above which Williwaw starts and below which it stops: no more being woken up if the temperature drops during the night!
Williwaw’s pivoting head allows you to direct airflow according to the season. During winter, pointing it toward the ceiling ensures effective destratification. Informed by its two remote temperature sensors, Williwaw pushes cold air against the warm air trapped at the ceiling, creating convection that balances the temperature. This reduces the load on your heating system, saving over 30% on energy costs in the room if the heating is controlled by a thermostat.
Crafted from steel, beechwood, and polycarbonate and assembled with screws, Williwaw is remarkably robust and easy to repair. Silent yet powerful, it includes a 10-year warranty for mechanical parts and a 5-year warranty for electronic components, ensuring excellent value for money.
Silent, economical, and durable: Williwaw uses only 5 to 48 watts to ventilate a room—significantly less than the 2500 watts used by traditional air conditioning—while remaining ultra-quiet at just 33 to 47 dB(A).
Williwaw is perfect for bedrooms: it represents the ideal eco-friendly ventilation solution for deep, peaceful nights, even during heatwaves.
For example, in a 50m² room with a 3.5m ceiling height, the carbon impact recorded by ADEME is 79g CO2 per kWh.

What a magnificent innovation by the ingenious Stéphane Thirouin, who has created the Williwaw with equal parts design and technology.
A cool breeze in silence and comfort, featuring a remote-adjustable mini thermostat and a commitment we all share: low energy consumption. Finally, a childhood memory resurfaces through the clever and playful assembly of this work of art.

Perfect nights without the infernal noise of spinning blades, very low energy consumption, and a great design. The little extra of being able to control it with a phone is very pleasant!

We suffered through the heatwave of summer 2022, and it was perfect to have the fan blowing its gentle breeze over our bed, completely silent.
The power consumption of 5 to 10W on the lower speeds is laughably low compared to air conditioning, for equivalent or even superior comfort (no feeling of cold draft).
We ultimately use it most in winter to circulate the warm air in our living room. It’s hard to quantify the heating savings as it depends on the thermostat setting, but the comfort gain is real, with far less of a cold-feet sensation.
As a bonus, we now use it during the shoulder seasons and winter to dry our laundry on the rack: after 12 hours of blowing at low speed (about 10W) overnight facing the rack, the clothes are almost dry, there’s no unpleasant damp smell, and above all, the consumption is only 12*10=120Wh! Again, this is negligible compared to a tumble dryer cycle which easily exceeds 1000Wh, even for the most efficient heat pump models.

Yes, it is expensive, but it is as effective as air conditioning, far more eco-friendly, and consumes much less energy.
Quality comes at a price. It’s time to support the innovations of our French designers!

This is the third one I’ve bought. We have one in each bedroom and no longer dread the heatwaves at night.
Not a sound and a breeze that feels so good!
We would never have invested in AC due to ecological concerns, but this product convinced us. It’s an investment, but well worth it—especially since it also runs in the living room with the mezzanine during winter to balance the temperature. Plus, it’s so beautiful!

Hidden from view, 115 screws ensure structural integrity and full repairability.
A Williwaw projects its airflow up to 8.5 meters (28 ft) and covers up to 270 degrees, reaching a surface area of 170 m² (1830 sq ft).
My name is Stéphane Thirouin. I am a designer dedicated to creating objects that are useful, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.
Faced with a stifling heatwave and determined to avoid air conditioning for ecological reasons, I was dissatisfied with the performance of existing fans. I decided to design Williwaw: a fan that is silent, powerful, energy-efficient, and built to last.
