Evona or Felis: which countertop basin for your vanity?

One basin without a tap hole, one with. Here is how Evona and Felis compare, and which one suits your tap and your worktop.

Evona, Rectangular ceramic countertop basin

Evona and Felis are both countertop basins in glazed ceramic. The key difference is not the shape but the tap: Evona has no tap hole, Felis has one.

The real question: where does the tap go?

  • With Evona, the tap is placed next to the basin: either on the wall (pipes built into the wall above the basin) or as a tall mixer on the worktop. The ceramic stays free of any hole.
  • With Felis, the tap sits on the basin itself. The worktop only needs a hole for the waste, and no pipework is built into the wall. It is the simplest option in a renovation.

Choose Evona if…

  • you want a wall-mounted tap and a completely clear worktop
  • you like a matt black basin, available on Evona
  • the vanity is a standard single-basin unit

Choose Felis if…

  • the space is small: a guest toilet or a narrow vanity
  • you prefer a classic single-hole mixer
  • you are renovating and want to avoid works in the wall

Height

Both add their height to the worktop: 14 cm for Evona, 13.5 cm for Felis. A worktop around 70 to 72 cm high puts the rim at a comfortable height for most adults.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a standard mixer with Evona?

No. Evona has no tap hole: use a wall-mounted tap or a tall mixer fixed on the worktop. For a standard single-hole mixer on the basin, choose Felis.

Which basin is better for a guest toilet?

Felis: it is compact (49 × 38.5 cm) and takes the mixer on the basin, so a narrow worktop is enough.

Is the waste included?

No, for either basin. This lets you choose the waste in the same finish as the tap.
