Dining by Design: DIFFA 2013 Tablescapes

An AR favorite designed by Ali Tayar
for Interior Design Magazine & Wolf Gordon
The annual Dining by Design tablescapes for DIFFA took place at this years Architectural Digest Home Show at Pier 94 from March 21-23. The tablescapes represented the creative vision of each participating designer or organization. The Dining by Design media sponsors were: The New York Times, Manhattan Magazine and Architectural Digest. The theme this year was sustainability, with the hopes that each designer will repurpose or recycle as much of the installation as possible.  The tables and designs ranged from very simple and plain to absolutely creative.  All the tables are featured below.
