Solutions Overview
Vertigo has completed many successful “design and build” projects for the OOH and Retail industries, focusing on the integration of appropriate technologies for outdoor and indoor media signage solutions. Our core competency is the design and definition of manufactured assemblies capable of supporting and protecting intricate and innovative technical display systems for deployment in hostile environments. A few of these developments are listed below to illustrate the scope and breadth of our experience.
Project: Scope: | Miami Beach Street Furniture Design Program Vertigo worked in collaboration with the project architect, Laurinda Spear and Architectonica of Miami USA, to translate conceptual and visual aesthetic designs into a range of manufactured product assemblies for volume production and installation in the historical Art Deco District of South Beach. The development involved delicate negotiation with local officials, sympathetic detailing and careful material selection to ensure compatibility with the surroundings, also innovative manufacturing process utilization to ensure compliance with South Florida [Hurricane] building and material codes whilst staying true to the original essence of the designs. The resulting “Origami” modular system of transit shelters and associated advertising furniture was fully defined, detailed and documented by Vertigo, the production of which was managed through Chinese based manufacturing facilities in Jiamen. The sculpted stainless steel and glass illuminated directories and street signage, situated in the fashionable Lincoln Road shopping district, were also detail designed and fully manufactured by Vertigo Group as a part of this scheme. |
