Tiniest wall mount faucet
We have a tiny 2nd bathroom. Planning on the Duravit Vero sink which is approx. 20W x 6D. Sink drain is 5" away from wall. I have been searching for a wall mount faucet with a spout that would be short enough to not extend further than the drain. The best options were the commerical faucets that you see in park bathrooms, but they were about an inch too long as well, not to mention looked like we had cheaped out. Any thoughts?

Ah maybe you should purchase the faucet that is used in the photo. What is the point of buying a Duravit sink and then buying a cheap faucet? Cheap faucets suck.

but, it's not a wall mount faucet.

Doesn't the Duravit come pre-drilled for either left or right faucet? What will you do with that? With such a tiny basin, it seem more likely rendered unusable by a centered wall-mount faucet (regardless of aligning faucet with drain).

It would be awkward to try to wash your hands under a wall-mounted faucet with a sink that narrow. Your hands would be banging into the wall. That is why they have the faucet off to the side. Also, if that is the exact sink you are going to have a hole where the faucet is supposed to be that you'd need to fill in.

i researched a while and bought a small sink. Never came across that one though.
I found this one:

but went with one a little bigger:

(have to buy faucet separately so its not cheap)

Thanks! The sink does come without any holes predrilled.

for tiny bathrooms, and for saving water!

try dornbracht...they have wall mounted faucets with different projections. If you go with a wall mount, I would recommend mounted it on the side wall.

Thanks again! Great idea to go on the side wall. Unfortunately, it might be a little lateish at this point, since I did not do all my research in advance. The plumbing is in for a deck mount faucet, so I am probably going to be forced to go with that. And they might close the walls soon. Unless, I create a fuss and make them do it over.
Any recommendations for a single hole faucet that is traditional/ rustic/ farmhouse, not modern. My bathroom has stark white subway tile walls and hexagon tile with black dots floor and an open shower. I want it to draw inspiration from an institutional bathroom like a prison/ gym. The sink looks pretty much like a utility or slop sink (or a cute variation thereof) and the open shower makes it pretty raunchy :-) Sorry if I offend...

Have you actually ever used this sink/faucet? I have. I can't imagine that it would be useful for anything other than handwashing (which might be all that you need if this is for a half bath.

That's about all I have space for. Might be able to squeeze in 3 more inches depth, if that. I have seen the Elfe sink in person, and that is narrower in depth than this one.
This is the 2nd BR and is used only as a powder room, but has a shower for guests, etc.
