DIFFA's Dining By Design Tables: 2012

DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting Aids)  is an organization who brings designers and design companies together to produce the Dining By Design Event at the Architectural Digest Show at the Javitts Center, NY. They kick off with an exclusive gala before opening to the public. While some table tops consisted of simple and standard designs, other really expressed the designer's creativity through their use of colors, patterns and materials. DIFFA's Dining by Design is a wonderful showcase of inspiration. Scroll all the way down for pictures and for a link to see last year's tablescapes!

The New York Design Center located at 200 Lexington avenue had particularly stunning table. Their project was a collaboration of many designers to create a table that reflected the characters of deceased popular and influential icons, like Coco Channel, Rafael Pucci, Michael Jackson and Steve Jobs. The masterpiece underlined the notion of bringing all these influential design icons to the table.
