Semi-Hidden Fan Design Features Retractable Blades

Don’t want to spend thousands of dollars finding the perfect vintage fan to fit your more traditional space – or settle for a knock-off that appears to belong but really doesn’t? There is another solution: a fan with retractable blades that tuck comfortably behind the light fixture that sits below them.
Don’t worry: even when out the light-blonde-or-dark-cherry wooden blades of the Air Shadow will look good in most any room – but at least you have the option as to whether or not you want to show them off when guests come calling. This interior fixtures design strategy seems like it could work for other functional pieces of modern architectural technology as well – retractable lights that fold into traditional walls perhaps?
