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.
