Naipe is an innovative fan design that plays with the French deck of cards.

It takes advantage of the ease and versatility of 3D printing to create a support and refills to the fan as well as taking advantage of the lightness of the cards for a lighter refreshing effect.

Moreover, the fan can be reduced to the size of the palm of your hand so you can carry it wherever you want more comfortably.

Naipe has been designed taking inspiration from the French deck of cards with four types of blades (diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades) that can be combined and mounted on the stand as you like. The holder is designed to hold a maximum of 8 blades/cards.

To assemble the fan, simply insert the blades into the lower support piece (the one with the hollow tube) and then close the assembly by inserting the other piece of the support. Before inserting the blades, I recommend to carefully run a knife or a sharp blade through the groove to ensure that you can insert the entire card. The cards can be put in and taken out again if you want a more compact fan or to vary its appearance, or they can be fixed with glue to ensure a better hold.

Aside from using it as a fan to show off your style or give you some air when you're hot, you can also use Naipe as a card holder in your Poker games!
