    Ron Rezek

    Ron Rezek

    Ron Rezek designed the world's first contemporary-styled ceiling fan, the Stratos, in 1986. But his list of accomplishments in the design world is long and varied, from lifeguard equipment to contemporary lighting. In 1997, Ron started The Modern Fan Co. in Ashland, Oregon, which produces and sells only contemporary ceiling fans.

    His ceiling fans have been widely used in hotels, restaurants, retail and institutional applications, and all types of residential projects.

    Ron Rezek's Philosophy:
    "I don't think contemporary means a stark white room. I think it means a tasteful alignment of important elements. There are some designers who copy the Modernists who have come before. But I think 'contemporary' is the pursuit of the new." "People assume that all contemporary fixtures are more functional than traditional ones. That is because contemporary fixtures are easier to clean and they seem to be more utilitarian based on their appearance. And because of their simplicity and lack of ornamentation, they also have an alliance with the industrial look. But all of this doesn't necessarily translate into function. The Modern Fan Co.'s fans are designed to be functional and energy efficient. This is part of being contemporary and pushing the edge. Energy efficiency is the wave of the future."

    I love the Plum ceiling fan.

    I purchased 3 for our villa on the beach. The fans are not only beautiful and modern, they are also powerful and quiet. They arrived on time and in perfect condition. Our electrician did the installation, and we are receiving compliments continuously.

    Beautiful simple fan

    I used the Plum Ceiling Fan in white without the light in a modern white kitchen - it is beautiful, clean and simple.

    The plum fan is simple, elegant and perfect for a contemporary home.

    We love it! Considering how light weight it is and that it has only 3 blades, it really puts out a nice breeze. And no wobbling!

    Perfect finishing touch

    In the last stages of our 50's ranch house remodel, we needed a ceiling fan for our peaked roof living room. It's a small house, and we needed the perfect fit, with the perfect styling, and an affordable price. After junking the huge 80s fan that the previous owners had installed, we spent a week looking at every option. Y Lighting had the most comprehensive selection at the best prices. The Plum Ceiling Fan ended up being the PERFECT fan for this space. Modern but classic, is is a beautiful detail in our home.

    Thank you!

    Love it

    We liked this fan so much, we got a second one for another room. They're powerful, quiet, and they look fantastic. We get unsolicited compliments on them from guests all the time. Both the remote and the wall switch work great.

    Perfect; modern, excellent air circulation; minimal foot print.

    This is my third Modern Fan Company fan, and I love it. It really helps cool down my second floor bedroom with west facing exposure. My upstairs ceiling is only 8 feet high, so I needed a fan that would not overpower the room. It was easy to install. and Modern Fan representatives were helpful in my selecting this fan.

    Modern, Attractive, Functional

    We bought these for our bedrooms, and are really happy with them. They are simple and modern, with clean lines. The blades may be plastic, but you would never know it by looking at them. The three speeds are distinct, and do the job. I would recommend this fan.

    Best Modern Fans on the market.

    beautiful modern yet soft fan.

    This is a beautiful fan that functions nicely. It is modern and simple, but the brushed chrome and curved edges make it soft while keeping it very simple and clean. I could see it looking good in a number of different types of decors. It is not absolutely silent, but it is relatively quiet. The electrician who installed it got his own wall unit for it as opposed to using the one that came with it.

    Easy on the eyes

    Modern and cool looking. Just large enough to accommodate a smallish room but quiet and breezy when sitting near it.

    The fan is beautiful. The only problem is that it does wobble a bit when it spins.

    Beautiful!

    The electrician told me that the fan was a great selection and the installation was easy. It looks great in my kitchen and gives me much better air circulation than my previous fan. Totally happy. When I update my other rooms, I would pick the plum ceiling fan both for performance and price. Thank you.,

    This is a great-looking fan, but I have some reservations about its mechanics.

    I have always admired the design of the Modern Fan Company fans. Most ceiling fans are so clunky, big, ill-proportioned, and just—usually—ugly. After many years of settling for cheaper, uglier ceiling fans, I bought the Plum by MFC. It is a beautiful fan. It looks great just silently sitting, not even in motion. Installation was simple and straight-forward, a standard installation. I am using the remote option since I live in a very old house with old, odd wiring. While I would like the blades to be a bit longer (I have the 52" version), the fan moves a decent amount of air. My one reservation about the fan is a disconcerting non-periodic clicking noise that developed on the higher speeds just a few days after installation (it has been working only about a week). I have emailed MFC and am hoping they have an easy explanation. It sounds like something is unbalanced, which I hope is not true for a new fan.

    Clean lines and a lamp that provides great light

    The Plum looks good and gives the light that the room needs. The setup was straightforward and did not take very long. This fan with its light kit is attractive without calling too much attention to itself and quietly provides good air circulation. The switch mounted fan and light controls are good and easy to use.

    Clean, Simple, and Quiet what a fan should be.

    Going with the 42" blade made all the difference in proportion and scale for the particular location in our new mudroom. Assembly / installation was very simple, and quick. And the operation is smooth and quite. Very surprised on how the well the smaller sized blades preform. Great product design all around.

    We Love our Plum Ceiling Fan

    We needed to replace a rather large ceiling fan with a light. After looking at a ton of different fan designs, some with lights and some without, we decided that the only way we could find a fan that was not intrusive, we would have to forgo a light.

    Then we found the Plum Ceiling fan. It's sleek design meets all of our needs. It is absolutely silent, has a minimal footprint, even with 52 inch blades and a minimalist, yet powerful light that works on a dimmer.

    Rarely have we been as satisfied with a purchase.

    Fabulous look at a Fair Price

    Love the look of the fan, shipped right away and when the client found that we had to go to a remote control it wasn't a problem. We are awaiting the arrival of the remote and should arrive tomorrow.

    Nice looking...seems small

    The fan seems to work well and is very nice looking. Although I chose the larger size fan, it seems small in the space compared to the same size fan I had in that space before. It may be because it has 3 blades.

    I find the light to be a little too bright, and will search to see if I can get a lower wattage halogen bulb.

    Form and Function

    I took a chance and ordered 8 of these fans before there were very many reviews, 4 aluminum and 4 white. They have now been installed in my newly remodeled mid-century modern home and I love them. They look cool and they move air! The blades are not real aluminum, like some reviews have said they are a painted plywood type material, but they still look great and I am very happy with them.

    This fan looks so cool, and it really works well too!

    We love the clean lines, the simple light fixture, the amount of air it moves. In short, we highly recommend this fan to everyone who loves modern design.

    Attractive, not showy, has style and performs well

    Thank goodness there are some fans that are designed nicely and not imitations of the thirties.The Plum fan is sleek but not intrusive. I just don't understand how it got it's name. It's really a peach!

    Great Prosuct -- Excellent Service!

    We are just completing a total remodeling of our kitchen and found the perfect ceiling fan on the YLighting Web Site. The 42 inch Plum Fan is perfect for small kitchens. My contractor was particularly impressed by the precision parts that made it easy to assemble and install, and enable it to live up to its lifetime warranty. Best of all was the expeditious service of YLighting. The fan arrived in just three days; right on schedule for its installation. Frrom now on we'll check the YLighting site before going any farther on the Web for the broad range of products they offer.

    Slick and efficient

    I called to place the order and got confirmation that the item was in stock. The ceiling fan is slick and discrete with the short arm (we have low ceilings). It moves the air very nicely with the 52 blades. The 75W halogen provides ambient light for a 14 X 15 bedroom but we'd need additional light to read in bed. Also it is very quiet.

    Very disappointed

    I am very disappointed with the Plum fan. It looked beautiful online. The blades are wood painted silver and the small size looks diminuitive in the room. I should of stuck with the classic Ball fan.

    Great ceiling fan at a good price

    You can't go wrong with Modern Fan Co. A good selection of fans, good price. The 4-speed control switch has an inset toggle that's a bit on the ugly side. Otherwise. highly recommended.

    Customer Questions

    Q:  Is the remote wiring/receiver built into the fan, or does it require that a secondary unit be stuffed into the ceiling mount box?

    A:  The remote control receiver for Modern Fan Ceiling fans is placed in the ceiling support bracket of the fan, which is then covered by the canopy — it does not go in the actual junction box, so the receiver is below the ceiling.


    Q:  Can multiple fans be operated from one remote control?

    A:  For the Modern Fans- as long the fans are fan only and do not include light kits, multiple fans can be operated from one remote. Additional receivers will need to be ordered for each additional fan.
