The words "sleek and sexy" might not have applied to ceiling fans before, but designer Ron Rezek has changed that with this breath of fresh air. The Velo's powerful motor and maintenance-free bearings reduce noise, while its three aerodynamic blades move air effortlessly. And, with an optional integrated light kit for halogens or compact fluorescents, it's no one-trick pony. The refined, 6½-inch-diameter body of die-cast aluminum and 50-inch-long blades come in either nickel or white finishes.
