Filix began in the 1980s as a small family-run business, producing coil transformers under the leadership of our father, Livio Jurman. Born from his vision and determination, we were a reliable presence in the Croatian industrial landscape.
As the world shifted, so did we. In the 1990s, amidst Croatia’s wartime struggles, our company adapted—moving production to China and North Africa, then shifting focus from manufacturing to becoming a local importer of lighting products. It wasn’t just about survival; it was about resilience.
By 2005, our path took a new turn when Nikola Jurman, Livio’s younger son, ventured into the world of design through a co-op with Lumenart, a company led by renowned Croatian lighting designer, Dean Skira (now known as Croatia Light and Product Designer)
In 2007, I (the older sibling) joined the company, bringing a business perspective after completing my degree, while Nikola, was driven by an unrelenting passion for innovation. Together, with energy, youthful enthusiasm, and a desire to challenge the status quo, we began developing groundbreaking products.
Developed by a deceased Croatian Architect Zoran Leko, Filix new brand identity was formed.
