If fluorescent lighting didn’t make office environments difficult enough, a warm cubicle or office can amplify the harshest portion of your work day. Interior offices that share walls with warehouses, or offices with large floor to ceiling windows can generate the most heat—especially in summer.
Even the smallest amount of airflow offers a reprieve, and office or desk fans can truly afford you the relief you seek. The Boneco, Hunter, and Vornado brands, for example, are earmarked for their remarkable cooling abilities, compact size, and stylish designs.
Check out Sylvane’s best fans for your office, cubicle, desk, side table, or wherever you need a breeze.
