Emerson ceiling fans was one of the very first companies to break into the market when they began manufacturing and selling their ceiling fans way back in 1895. This company was also the first out of them all to begin using a modern brush style fan motor which at that time was the epitome of electronics technology.
So here 113 years later they're still advancing to new levels in design and technology as Emerson continues to carve out their own market niche with fans that feature a retro look. A design look and style that's a perfect fit for modern contemporary home and office interior designs.
They also carry a good selection of what can be described as classic and antique fans but it's there more streamlined modern style fans that they're becoming most well known for in recent years.
The modern contemporary interior design style has been around for as long as there's been interiors. It's just that as technology and homeowners interpretation of what is modern has advanced and changed over the decades, so too has this design style changed.
For instance brushed metal finishes in nickel, pewter and steel are now used to represent modern advancements in metallurgy. Then another more recent development in the modern contemporary look is stained, and finished wood surfaces that more often than not in years past were painted.
So you may have already seen that a good many of today's newer more modern contemporary designed fans that feature what has come to be known as the retro look incorporate wood and metal as major elements in their design style.
The Origami Ceiling Fan

It's the blades in particular on Emersons Origami fan that impart the unique retro look that it has. They're referred to as gull-winged and you can see them on other companies models but what's so different here is that this is only one where you'll find gull-winged blades that feature integrated steel support rods.A look that is truly modern in its own right that's priced in the mid-$500 range.
"As part of a $17 billion corporation, Emerson remains a leader in engineering and technology that has never forgotten that high-quality motors and ceiling fans started it all."
The Origami fan blends brushed stainless steel and wood for a unique and up to date modern look. Stainless steel that's used on the streamline fan motor housing, so the rods and the housing contrast well against the authentic hardwood fan blades. This unit is also designed to be suspended as much as 6 feet from the ceiling in a taller room and it also comes with a limited lifetime guarantee.
Emersons Tureen Fan from the Elite Collection

The Tureen is yet another model from Emerson elite collection and this model in particular has the look of “retro” all over it. Its streamline housing is similar in shape and design to the above listed origami but in this case the housing is only available in faux wood. The Tureen incorporates brushed stainless steel set against wood for unique modern contemporary look that marries well with wood cabinetry, paneling or wood flooring.

"There are reasons Emerson is the only fan company to have been manufacturing and marketing ceiling fans since 1895 - leadership, design, quality, and innovation that stand the test of time."
In this case however, rather than steel reinforcement members being incorporated on the bottom of the fan blades, as in the Origami, steel enforcers are attached from above for a unique sturdy decorative look. Emerson has also recently added the matching light fixtures to this collection that include matching mini pendants that feature the same steel against wood motif, and a larger pendant, and wall sconce.
The Emerson Midway Echo

The Emerson Midway Echo, model number CF955 features the most modern and up-to-date five Bladed fan design on the market. The fan has high-efficiency blades that are aerodynamically designed to move up to 40% more air than standard blades along with a fluorescent light fixture that makes it even more energy-efficient. So not only does this unit future a modern look but it's also thoroughly modern in function as well.
"After more than 110 years and hundreds of patents, Emerson's devotion to quality and innovation go into every fan made. With over 150 different fan models ranging in design from classic to contemporary to traditional to trend setting, there is sure to be an Emerson fan suited to your decor."
This sleek looking model that's priced in the mid four-hundreds is available in appliance white, brushed Steel that comes with Midnight Bordeaux Blades and opal matte glass, or oil rubbed bronze that features with hardwood blades and sandstone glass lighting cover. It also happens to be one of the cheapest ceiling fans on the market to operate and powered by a high efficiency motor that's covered by a 30 year warranty.
Emerson CF205 3 Blade 54" Highpointe Ceiling Fan

This model features a very unique streamlined contemporary and urban style with its trendsetting industrial cable wires and unique blade fasteners. Definitely a design style that has gone a huge leap beyond the standard retro design style.
This is a completely new look for someone who's looking for a new type of fan to showcase in a modern contemporary design style that would benefit from the industrial element that this fan can bring.
"In 1890, Emerson created the first motor to run on alternating current, and by 1895 they introduced the first A/C powered ceiling fan. Since then, they have become the longest continuous manufacturer of ceiling fans in the world!"
For example this fan might be the perfect fit for the person who's looking for something to go in a business or office setting that's modern and decorative yet at the same time contains a commercial design element. Perhaps in a construction company or building supply office setting where the industrial decorative edge fits in complete compliance with their business genre.
The CF3300 8 Blade Croix Indoor Ceiling Fan

Then for the business or home owner who is looking for something that goes beyond modern contemporary and ventures into a more futuristic design style there's the St. Croix. A futuristic double fan and whether you complete the look with a set of St. Croix palm leaf blades or opt for a set of contemporary artisan blades, make no mistake out it but that this fan will not go unnoticed.
"Emerson has also recently partnered with Kichler Lighting to coordinate ceiling fans to their most popular selling families."
This uniquely designed one-of-a-kind model does come with one glaring downside though, and that is its price. It's listed on the company website at $999 which puts it right near the very top in terms of the ceiling fan general price range. This is also a unit that requires a lot of space to operate in. It carries a big look, so it belongs in a big room because it will move a lot of air.

US $109.00
