Hi Catherine, you're right they aren't commonly seen or available in Australia, which makes them even more distinctive when you install them here. It's very much something you would see in an upmarket hotel. Plenty of selections from America and Asia. Though the one u've found from Dorf is beautiful.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help! I tell you what, it goes to show how important photography is, I looked at the Parisi website, although the basins may be nice they do not 'sell' themselves like Omvivo does with their photographs.

our plumber correctly installed our wall mounted spouts over the centre of the basin ie water directed to the plug hole but make sure that the basin is mounted forward of the vanity and spout is shorter rather than longer as the water can spurt forward if turned on too hard by unsuspecting guests

good points SK and Eco thank you. Looks like I'll be going with the flick tap, offset at 2pm to the right of the round vessel basin, mounted in the centre of the top of the vanity (not semi-recessed). Any thoughts on whether the vessel basin should be bang in the middle, or offset to the left slightly to balance the tap being on the right?
