Vintage Metal Desk Fan Set

This vintage metal desk fan set for SketchUp features a classic cage design and a weathered finish for authentic period detailing. The set includes two desk fans with a distinct mid-century aesthetic, characterised by a circular wire-mesh cage and a three-blade propeller assembly. Each unit is supported by a curved, slender neck that connects to a weighted, circular base. The metal construction features a dark, aged brown patina, suggesting a robust industrial provenance. The proportions are compact, suitable for placement on work surfaces or side tables. The design captures the mechanical simplicity of early electric fans, with visible hardware details on the motor housing and cage fasteners, providing a high level of visual realism.

The download is a 9.7 MB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model holding 2 separate objects. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.

In SketchUp, these models are organised as components, allowing for easy placement and scaling within a scene. Users should check the face orientation upon insertion to ensure correct material rendering. The geometry is clean, making it straightforward to apply custom textures or adjust the metallic finish using standard material editors. If using in a larger interior, consider placing them on desks or bookshelves to enhance the lived-in quality of the space, ensuring they are oriented appropriately towards the primary focal points of the room.
