Vertigo Bird develops timeless designs for all architectural contexts, both residential and commercial. Since its launch, the company has worked intensively with Slovenian and international designers and architects to develop varied and compelling lighting collections that naturally find their place between high-end lighting design and standardized production. The brand also brings a touch of softness and individuality to larger lighting systems.

The Vertigo Bird brand was born in the mining and glassmaking region of central Slovenia. The age-old wisdom of the miners that "you have to go deep to reach the heights" is echoed in the brand's original statement. The company has conceived its mission with respect for local know-how and resources, while going beyond the limits that this imposed. It has combined traditional skills and craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology and intelligent management.

The brand's curious name has its origins in the Slovenian artists' collective En Knap. Vertigo Bird is the name 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 vertiginous dance atop the chimney of a local power station.

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