There is a sizeable new girl making waves on Dubai’s events scene this year — a restored 1963 Volkswagen camper van named Lola.

Introduced by European lifestyle products distributor Desert River, ‘Lola’ has been converted to include a mobile bar and DJ booth.

“She not only looks very attractive as a showpiece at events, but also assists you by acting as a cocktail bar or DJ booth,” explained Desert River co-owner and managing partner Claudia van der Werf.

Lola features a fully equipped bar, with two glass-door fridges allow for space and display of small bottles and cans, while the opened roof has an integrated LED-lit bottle rack for wine and liquor bottles.

A freezer, sink and plenty of storage space complete the facilities.

“The space inside is large enough for two bartenders to work comfortably,” continued Van der Werf. 

“In addition to this, Lola’s roof opens to reveal state-of-the-art LCD screens and high quality speakers.

“DJ decks can easily be connected to the sound system, so Lola is the ultimate DJ booth. In fact she has been designed for this purpose by top Dutch DJ and designer Stef Van der Bijl,” she added.

Desert River is well-known on the events scene for its range of eye-catching products avail;able to purchase or rent — including the Blofield inflatable sofas; Bloom! lit planters; Moonlight Designer Lamps; Fatboy lounge bags and hammocks; Slide illuminated objects; Freek outdoor carpets; Tumbly seats; Patapoof inflatable buffets; and the Showmotion, a mobile bar with integrated conveyor belt.
