The key difference is not the shape but the tap: Evona has no tap hole, Felis has one. ## Side by side | | Evona | Felis | | --- | --- | --- | | Shape | Rectangular, rounded corners | Compact, with a rear tap deck | | Dimensions | 50.5 × 40 × 14 cm | 49 × 38.5 × 13.5 cm | | Tap hole | None | 1 | | Compatible tap | Wall-mounted or tall mixer on the worktop | Standard single-hole mixer on the basin | | Finishes | Gloss white, matt black | Gloss white | | Waste | Not supplied, Ø 46 mm outlet | Not supplied | ## 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.

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. ## More articles [ EvonaNovember 6, 2026 ### Evona countertop basin: choosing the tap, the height and the finish Evona has no tap hole, which gives you the choice between a wall-mounted tap and a tall mixer.
