The contemporary brand Vertigo Bird designs and manufactures top-level lighting products. First introduced to Slovene public at the Month of Design in 2007 it has since become an internationally renowned brand, known for its quality and timeless designs, flexibility and energy efficiency. Vertigo Bird works in close cooperation with various Slovene and international design companies and individual designers; Bevk Perović Arhitekti, Sadar-Vuga Arhitekti, and Nika Zupanc among them.

The brand's most recognizable motif and also its official logo designed by LUKSstudio represents the company's motto: "Unpredictably elegant + unexpectedly functional."


Vertigo Bird is a design branch of the Slovene lighting company Sijaj Hrastnik, both managed by Silvo Kačar, who is also a founder of the international lightning company Arcadia Lightwear, and a member of the design group called Smoke Detektors.


Background

In search for the appropriate name for the new brand, the inspiration was found in the contemporary dance video Vertigo Bird by Sašo Podgoršek and En-Knap Productions. A dance performance which takes place in a coalmine ends with a meaningful scene – a dancer Iztok Kovač climbs high up the shaft and at the end walks on the edge of the high chimney just like a Vertigo Bird. The name was born, presenting the brand's birthplace and mission – the desire to reach the global market.

Awards

In 2008 the light Luc by Arne Vehovar was nominated for BIO - Biennial of Industrial Design. In 2009 the light Slim designed by Bevk Perović Arhitekti won the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design. In 2009 Silvo Kačar and the brand Vertigo Bird received the TREND Award for the design achievements.
