Hello!
In our bathroom, I’m planning to install two vessel sinks on a countertop. Now I’m just looking for a suitable faucet. To match the freestanding bathtub’s deck-mounted faucet, I would like something with a similar design (for example, like a Grohe Cosmopolitan, which has a gently curved shape).
The problem with most faucets is the handle. When the faucet is installed centrally behind the sink bowl, it’s difficult to reach the handle properly, or the handle hits the sink — at least that’s what I think.
So far, I’ve only found one faucet (a no-name brand) where the handle is positioned higher up, but its spout reach is too short. I don’t really want wall-mounted faucets because I don’t feel confident installing them myself. Also, professional installation would be too expensive, and it’s too inflexible if I want to change the sink bowl later and the height no longer fits.
Does anyone here possibly know of a similar faucet designed specifically for installation behind vessel sinks?
Good luck,

Unfortunately, I do not know what curved washbasins are.

I also considered a sensor faucet, but then you only get lukewarm water all the time.
EDIT: Ah.. since there’s an expert here.. @Neige: The countertop is supposed to be solid wood. Oak glued laminated board with continuous strips. Should I oil or lacquer it?
