Bringing brilliant ideas to light

Set-up in January 2004 by Dutch Nationals Claudia van der Werf and Michiel Schröeder, Desert River is a Dubai-based dynamic and innovative company, which has established a solid reputation in the region as a reliable, original and high-end trading firm for furniture, lighting and events rentals. It is the official distributor of well-known European furniture and lighting brands and supplies a wide range of high-quality products to the region’s leading hotels, restaurants and retailers across the Middle East.

The brand launched a new venture offering the region’s largest online platform for table lights. The e-commerce site, called tableLights.me, responds to the ever-changing needs of businesses in the region by offering the biggest selection of cordless table lights in the region ranging from economy Yallah! Lights, to high-end customized lamps by Imagilights.

Claudia van der Werf, director at Desert River explains: “The concept was born when F&B operators were looking for unique designs in quality table lamps and the newest candle replacement products that match the style of their venue and contribute to the overall ambiance. Responding to an increase in last-minute demands by hotels and restaurants, tableLights.me offers a simple and straightforward platform to find and order anything related to table lights delivered directly from our Dubai warehouse.”
