ZENITH

Next →

ZENITH is a ceiling fan concept that redefines the conventional blade through the use of toroidal geometry. The design combines aerodynamic innovation with a strict minimalist aesthetic, resulting in a product that is both visually striking and functionally superior.

Developed as an individual project in 3rd year at UDIT, ZENITH was recognized as the winner of the 3rd Edition of the Ceiling Fans with Special Features competition by Sulion Digital S.A. in collaboration with UDIT.

Concept & Design

Innovation through geometry

The central idea behind ZENITH was to challenge the standard ceiling fan blade — a flat paddle rotating on an axis — and replace it with a toroidal (donut-shaped) helical structure. This geometry allows for more efficient airflow, reduced noise, and a cleaner visual footprint.

The form was inspired by nature: the vortex rings created by jellyfish and dolphins for propulsion, adapted into a product that fits the domestic ceiling space without sacrificing performance.

The entire design was developed in Autodesk Fusion 360, pushing the parametric tools to their limits to achieve the precise curvature of the toroidal blades. The housing was designed with the same minimalist philosophy — a slim disc that hides the motor and wiring completely.

Color palette was kept strictly neutral: matte white and warm grey to integrate into contemporary interiors without imposing a strong visual identity of its own.

Premio Sulion

Winner — 3ª Edición · Ceiling Fans with Special Features

Sulion Digital S.A. in collaboration with UDIT (Universidad de Diseño, Innovación y Tecnología), Madrid, 2023. The competition challenged students to rethink the ceiling fan as a product through innovation in form, function, or materials.
