PROPELLER by Serien Lighting – Ceiling Fan and Light Sculpture in One

PROPELLER by Serien Lighting – Light, Motion and Design in Perfect Harmony


The PROPELLER by Serien Lighting is far more than a ceiling fan. This extraordinary design object combines lighting and air circulation in a remarkably delicate way, turning any space into a stage for light and motion.

Created by Israeli designer Yaacov Kaufman, PROPELLER is both poetic and functional:

A lightweight elastic fabric is stretched over a spring-steel frame, illuminated from within, creating a floating, animated sculpture that transforms with every rotation.

A Light Sculpture and Ceiling Fan in One


PROPELLER serves as central ceiling light and fan in one elegant unit.

A quiet motor operates inside, controlled conveniently via wireless remote. With a single button press, the fan switches from a gentle breeze to a powerful airflow – ideal for hot summer days or for circulating warm air during winter.

Its reverse function helps redistribute heat trapped near the ceiling, making PROPELLER especially effective in high spaces such as lofts, duplexes, or open-plan apartments.

Smart Lighting Upgrade: Dimmable and Colorful

A feature not emphasized in the original description but essential today:

Thanks to the integrated E27 socket, PROPELLER can easily be fitted with a smart bulb.

This allows modern control options such as:

  • continuous dimming,
  • variable white tones,
  • or RGB color effects for ambient lighting.

The combination of soft fabric light and smart color control transforms PROPELLER into a contemporary lighting sculpture that adapts to every mood and setting.

  • Red Dot Design Award, Design Zentrum NRW (2008)

These accolades highlight the artistic and functional balance that makes PROPELLER a true design icon among ceiling fans.
