Cinni Desk Fans promise relief from heat. If they look like something Rick had on his desk in Casablanca, it's no accident – Cinni fans were first made in 1938.
They were created by the great Indian engineer Raj Kumar Sah in the Hindu holy city of Varanasi, and are one of the few all-metal fans you can buy.
Cinni fans have a tilting head, a hand wound motor, a useful carry handle (they're heavy), and look gorgeous. They're not cheap, but last a lifetime.
