DIFFA's DINING BY DESIGN Celebrates 20 Years in NYC

M Moser Associates
 This year marked the 20th Anniversary of DIFFA's DINING BY DESIGN in New York. The annual fundraiser took place on at Pier 92 on March 16-20th, raising approximately $800,000 to fund HIV/AIDS education and prevention services across the country. 

The 20th annual DINING BY DESIGN New York, co-located with the Architectural Digest Design Show at Pier 94. brought together over 40,000 guests experiencing over-the-top table designs by more than 30 designers, architects, manufacturers and brands. Leading brands included Florim, Roche Bobois and Gensler, and M Moser, utilizing their table installation to raise awareness toward the fight against HIV/AIDS. Through their table design, M Moser aims to encourage contemplation and ultimately action in the race to zero: zero new infections and zero discrimination in the continued fight against HIV/AIDS. 

Through DIFFA's Student Design Initiative, sponsored by the Angelo Donghia Foundation, local design schools built installations, taking special care to create an installation that raises awareness about HIV/AIDS care and prevention. Students from Parsons incorporated found materials from each of New York City's five boroughs, coming together in a single color; an analogy for the many New Yorkers affected by HIV/AIDS. The Pratt Institute's installation represented a "home" in the fight against AIDS.The New York School of Interior Design titled their installation "Shining bright Together."Evoking emotion and energy through light and color, it symbolically references a pulsating heartbeat. A series of lines merge in the center to embrace a theme of unity.
