Spirit Mesh is a unique line of door handles, window handles and pull handles by Italian brand Linea Cali, representing the Swarovski® collection. The series was inspired by photographs of the Ethiopian calla taken in 1988 by the famous American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Nowadays these iconic photographs are presented in the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Numerous similarities can be seen by analyzing the design of the Spirit Mesh series handles and pull handles while comparing them with the legendary photographs. The slender lever of the handle, evokes the shape of the stem and calyx of the Ethiopian calla flower. The decorative elements are made from carefully polished and sparkling crystals from the renowned Swarovski® brand. Spirit Mesh door handles are available in versions on a round rose and on a long plate. Another options are four stroke window handles and window handles with an anti-burglary SmartBlock system equipped with a passive rose, which must be pressed with two fingers in order to turn the lever of the handle. The solution used in them excludes the possibility of accidental opening of the window or balcony door, and also effectively protects against burglary attempts by using an iron rod with a rotating tip. Spirit Mesh series also feature pull handles with 300 mm distance, dedicated to wooden or glass doors. Models from the Spirit Mesh line are available in chrome, satin chrome and gold plated finish.
