A 16-inch directional ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, finished in Agua Marinha with solid mahogany wood blades, designed for small spaces and targeted airflow.
The Bianca Direcional ceiling fan is a unique and versatile piece, with a fan head that can be infinitely positioned in a 180-degree arc, forward and reverse, to direct airflow exactly where you need it. Its cast aluminum and steel construction, along with marbleized Bakelite accents, give it a handcrafted, contemporary transitional look. The solid Brazilian mahogany blades add warmth and a touch of nature to any space. This fan is ideal for small, awkward spaces or for improving HVAC efficiency by placing it in front of ducts.
Best for
- Small bedrooms or home offices where a standard fan is too large
- Covered patios, porches, or sunrooms (damp-rated)
- Spaces with awkward layouts, such as alcoves or corners
- Placing in front of HVAC ducts to improve air circulation

- Vaulted ceilings (flat ceiling canopy only)
- Bathrooms with direct water exposure (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
