Vertigo Bird develops timeless designs suited for all architectural settings, both residential and commercial. Since its launch, the company has been working closely with Slovenian and international designers and architects to create diverse and captivating lighting collections that naturally bridge the gap between high-end lighting design and standardized production. The brand also adds a touch of softness and individuality to larger lighting systems.

The Vertigo Bird brand was born in the mining and glass-making region of central Slovenia. The miners’ ancestral wisdom that “you must go deep to reach the heights” is echoed in the brand’s founding statement. The company has defined its mission with respect for local expertise and resources, while pushing beyond the limits these imposed. It has successfully blended traditional skills and craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology and intelligent leadership.

The brand’s intriguing name originates from the Slovenian artist collective En Knap. Vertigo Bird is the title of a film created by dancer and choreographer Iztok Kovač and director Sašo Podgoršek. The film’s dance performance takes place in a coal mine and culminates in a dizzying dance atop the smokestack of a local power plant.

Similarly, the Vertigo Bird brand makes no secret of its origins or its lofty ambitions to become a global brand of individual lighting.
