The Coanda, designed by Constantino Papatsoris and Santiago Castillo, is a smart, connected ceiling fan that communicates with smartphones via a dedicated app. Users can toggle the built-in LED light fixture, control location or time-based "on" and "off" settings, airflow intensity, automated temperature optimization based on seasonal changes, and communication with smart thermostats to reach optimal temperature and energy savings. The Coanda rethinks the traditional ceiling fan design, accounting for fluid dynamics and inspiration provided by computer fans and industrial air amplifiers.

Constantino Papatsoris and Santiago Castillo are both students at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. Papatsoris is a senior in Industrial Design and Castillo is an MFA candidate in Design Management. Having worked together in school-related projects in the past, they decided to collaborate in the ideation of this design concept when they realized that Papatsori's Industrial Design knowledge and Castillo's experience in design thinking, ideation, and human-centered design produced exciting results that effectively address existing user pain points and embrace innovative solutions.

The Savannah College of Art and Design is an institution of design where their are many creative fields to choose from. One of being Industrial Design where they push their students beyond their limits in order to create products that are not only innovational, but also design oriented.
