The Concealed Faucet

Modern designers and manufacturers are taking the kitchen to
ultra-sleek dimensions; too sleek, in fact, to be bothered with even a visible
water faucet. Yet a kitchen cannot exist without water. The answer? A new wave
of concealed faucet designs that somehow manage to singlehandedly reinvent the
modern kitchen.
Concealed faucets as a general rule are mounted underneath
the sink rather than on the countertop as most traditional faucets are. Only
the handles and spout are visible within the sink. There are also a few other
creative designs as well. Here are a few concealed faucet products, with links
to manufacturers:

cannot be any more hidden. It is cunningly disguised behind a push-to-open
panel.

Faucets makes a wide range of sink faucets, including several concealed
designs. With a focus primarily on commercial faucets, expect maximum
functionality in design; great for the well-traveled kitchen.
