Having experience in graphic design and being an architect, Nauris Kalinauskas has always been interested in the simplicity and beauty of geometric forms. The simplicity of the material and the technology of shaping it stimulates creativity and, in some ways, helps to keep the design focused on simple, pure geometrical shapes and forms. His works stands out not only for utility, function and aesthetics but also for the creative use of non traditional materials for furniture design. „When you block out the trivial elements of your environment and try to look at things from a different point of view, then you get that amazing feeling of creativity, the sense of a desire to crystalize your thoughts into a physical form“, says Nauris.

His international success was probably the logical consequence of his philosophy that the concept behind an initial idea should be brought to fruition in production. Having participated in a number of international exhibitions his works are well known worldwide. During his life he has received numerous awards including the the red dot award for the seating series entitled LOGO, - to be received in June 2007.
