The artist Carlo Borer had almost given up.
Then Vela Eurasia came along—with courage, commitment, and knowledge.
The basic idea of the Q-Fan was impressive – a circular design fan, reduced to its essentials, almost floating. But the project was technically stalled: material problems, no manufacturable solutions, no clarity on tools or assembly processes.
Carlo Borer, the artist behind the project, was on the verge of stopping everything.
We found this a challenge!
In close collaboration with manufacturers, we selected cost-effective processes, optimized each component for feasibility, and developed fixtures until we had a product with a "wow factor."
Today, the Q-fan is a design icon!
" I was close to abandoning the project. It was technically too complex, with too many open issues.
Vela didn't just provide solutions—they breathed life into the fan."
- Carlo Borer, artist & product initiator
Every component was tested – whether it was airflow, the function of the rotary knob, or the fit of the safety guard. Our QA team worked hand in hand with production.
