The Haiku Home Artisan Collection is a super cool series of ceiling fans that is as much artwork as it is functionality. If you are not familiar with these fans check out my In-Depth Haiku Fan Review or learn about the different Haiku Fan Product lines (in addition to this Artisan collection)
Haiku Home contacted different artists and asked them to paint on their fans and the results are stunning and varied.
The collection is now being retired. So I thought I would grab as much information about the fans as I could. This way if others (and myself) wanted to see all the designs in one place, they can.
Also, I just thought these fans were a great way to add interest and style to otherwise boring ceilings.
How Artisan Collection Fans are Built
After speaking with Haiku, I realized these fans are way more special and custom than I thought.
Haiku does not have just boxes and boxes of the painted blades waiting to go out when you order them the design is hand build and applied to your fan. To put it another way, your artisan fan is truly artisan. It is created and built after you have ordered it.
So if you are lucky enough to get one of these fans you can know it was created specifically for you.
Collection is Retired
Around June of 2018, the collection was retired. I spoke with someone at Haiku and they had great interest but when you start with a $1,000+ fan and then add the time of the artist to create the design, then have the design applied when the fan is ordered, it all added up to the $2,500 price tag and that starts to get expensive.

Whale Bones
Artist: Caper West
Haiku Home Official Website Description:
Pairing traditional nautical design elements with an un-traditional, hand-stenciled sperm whale skeleton, Caper West’s “Whale Bones” sets itself apart. The design itself was inspired by the subtle curvature of our fans’ airfoils, and the result is an eye-catching work of art worthy of a prominent place in your home’s collection. With a white universal mount, this 60-inch diameter fan is versatile enough for almost any space.
Thoughts: This is a super cool fan and would work great at a beach house or any kids room or play area.
Agate Slice
Artist: Rebecca Harrell
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
“Agate Slice” reflects artist Rebecca Harrell’s fascination with minerals and microscopic natural environments, and how they mimic the larger landscapes in which they’re found. For Harrell, painting Haiku’s airfoils provided the perfect opportunity to play with the organic curved shapes hidden inside agates until someone slices them open. The warm colors and evocative lines connect any interior space to the natural world. Assembled in the USA using aircraft-grade aluminum and black hardware, the 84-inch “Agate Slice” is ideal for great rooms and other large spaces.

Bohemian
Artist: Angie Lister
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
“Bohemian,” by Los Angeles-based artist Angie Lister, is a joyful celebration of color and abstract form. Lister drew her inspiration from California’s famous abalone shell, then enriched the design with an array of hues that any sea creature would envy. “Bohemian” is a fan that’s as exuberant as it is efficient. Hang it on your ceiling and see your friends turn every color with envy.
Thoughts: This fan has very interesting color patterns that mach my bracelet
Burbajas Bubbles
Artist: Jesus Celedon
Haiku Home Website Official Description:

Cocktails at Sunset
Artist: Windy O’ Connor
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
“Cocktails at Sunset,” like all of North Carolina artist Windy O’Connor’s work, projects a feeling through color and shape. In this case, the feeling is joy mixed with relaxation, the feeling that comes at the end of a carefree day at the beach. The pink, blue and gold palette evokes the sun setting over the ocean, while the title calls to mind one of life’s great pleasures. Assembled in the USA using aircraft-grade aluminum and black hardware, the 60-inch “Cocktails at Sunset” is ideal for small- and medium-sized spaces.

Dapper Delineation
Artist: Luke Achterberg
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
Artist Luke Achterberg has long been inspired by the pinstripe designs of classic American hot rods. The result is “Dapper Delineation,” a piece of eye candy whose clean lines are ready to make a striking statement on your ceiling – the Fifth Wall™. Featuring a white mount, this 60-inch fan’s superior airflow and head-turning appearance make it ideal for dens, bedrooms, offices, man caves, living rooms and more.

Dappled Dreams
Artist: Carry Reeder
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
The shadows that tree limbs cast on pathways is the inspiration for Houston artist Cary Reeder’s “Dappled Dreams.” For Reeder, the effect calls to mind the plans we form, the paths we take in life, and the way our paths are marked by periods of mystery and clarity. The fan’s white hardware complements the vibrant colors of Reeder’s design.
Thoughts:

Pelagico
Artist: Nicola Parente
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
Nicola Parente’s “Pelagico,” inspired by the sea and the bustling port of Houston, offers an image of international connection.

Phantom Pains
Artist: Caper West
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
Make a provocative and powerful statement in any space with Caper West’s “Phantom Pains Support Group.” Its surreal, graffiti-inspired design was created using spray cans and stencils; West then used a simple black permanent marker to give his figures added definition. Featuring a white mount, this Artisan Collection fan is 84 inches across — perfect for large spaces, like great rooms and atriums.

Three Eyes
Artist: Laksmi Camp
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
The work of Laksmi Camp is largely reminiscent of Australian aboriginal art, delicately and intuitively labored, featuring dots, lines, and spirals in abstracted patterns. “Three Eyes” evokes ancient and elemental feelings in a totally timeless way.

Visual Vestige
Artist: Luke Achterberg
Haiku Home Website Official Description:
Artist Luke Achterberg used the sleek lines and color schemes of the Blue Angels’ WWII-era corsair fighter jets – as well healthy dash of style from vintage American hot rods– as inspiration for “Visual Vestige,” a striking addition to the Artisan Collection. Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, this fan has an 84-inch diameter well-suited for great rooms and uses white mounting hardware.
