Levant Lever Handle
Beginning as a quest for a lever handle that can be comfortably approached from the end (consider when you're approaching a door from the side rather than front on), a visit to the Victoria & Albert Museum in Kensington found us drawn to the ancient pestle and mortar - ergonomic in its very purpose - forming a shorter lever with a comfortably bulbous end.
In use for over thousands of years, first by the Kebaran culture in the Levant, the minimal change to the form of a pestle and mortar over time is a testament to its truly functional design.
These features have been translated into the gentle scoop of the rose, caving to the stem of the lever handle, which grows from there into a soft, rounded lever. Expressed in the chunkier proportions of the rose and the grip is the heavy, sturdy nature of a traditional pestle and mortar.
