Gova Furniture
Description
For the Gova Meubelen restaurant in Lier, we supplied a complete commercial kitchen and bar fittings, seamlessly integrated into the reopening of the furniture shop. The kitchen was designed with particular attention to working comfort, safety and a smooth workflow. All this was achieved within a tight deadline dictated by the shop’s fixed opening date.

Design and approach
As is customary, the kitchen design was handled by François, with the central aim of maximising operational efficiency within a relatively confined space. Every appliance and every item is within three steps’ reach, ensuring a smooth and structured workflow for the kitchen staff.
The Convotherm combi-steamer was fitted with a concealed door: a deliberate choice that significantly increases freedom of movement in the kitchen. The induction hob was integrated flush with the worktop to create a safe and ergonomic working environment.
The completion deadline was tight: the opening date for Gova Meubelen had been fixed for some time following the general refurbishment works. D&L Concepts successfully completed the entire project on time, ensuring that everything was up and running by the time the business reopened.
Kitchen fittings & equipment
The production kitchen is equipped with a Convotherm 10GN combi-steamer with a concealed door and an induction hob that is flush with the worktop. For refrigeration, a 1,400-litre Samaref fridge and a 700-litre Samaref freezer were chosen, supplemented by a refrigerated workbench with an integrated saladette. This provides ample refrigerated storage capacity without the need for separate cold rooms or freezer rooms.
The dishwashing area has been fully integrated into the production kitchen via a Hobart front-loading dishwasher, which improves the logistical flow within the kitchen.
Bar equipment
For the bar equipment, D&L Concepts collaborated with the architectural practice Anneke Crauwels from Mechelen and the joinery firm DC Interieurschrijnwerk bvba. The bar area was fitted with two drinks coolers, a dessert display cabinet, an ice cube machine and a glass washer. A complete basic set-up tailored to a professional restaurant bar.
