Recap: DIFFA DINING BY DESIGN 2015


Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) annual DINING BY DESIGN was held in conjunction with the Architectural Digest Home Show from March 19-23, 2015 at Pier 92. DIFFA's DINING BY DESIGN fundraising event brings together internationally celebrated designers and local talent to create extraordinary dining environments, from lavish and opulent to outrageous and whimsical. 

Festivities included Cocktails by Design on Thursday, March 19th, followed by the DINING BY DESIGN gala on Monday, march 23rd. A portion of all ticket sales benefits DIFFA and helps in the fight against HIV/AIDS. 

In addition to the elaborate installations, attendees were able to shop the silent auction to help raise additional funds for the cause. The silent auction, which was also accessible online, featured a wide array of art, photography, travel, hospitality experiences, and more. 

This year's table installations were so creative and inspirational! Check out the highlights from this year's DIFFA DINING BY DESIGN. Hermés and Anthropologie were two of my favorite installations. Which ones are your favorites?
