DIFFA

On March 16th, we had the rewarding experience of attending the DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS – Cocktails by Design Preview Party at Pier 92 on the Hudson River in New York City. This is the 20th Anniversary of Dining by Design, the largest event on the DIFFA calendar. DIFFA invited local and international designers to transform a raw space into a showcase of over-the-top dining environments. Designers adorn walls tents, lighting wires, and more showcase the unique dining visions this is so much more setting a pretty table. Co-located with the Architectural Digest Design Show at Pier 94, DIFFA’s signature event gathers industry insiders, design enthusiasts, and active donors to Pier 92 in New York City to fundraise for a very worthy cause. It is a 5-day exhibition held from March 16-20, and more than 2,000 attendees are expected.

This week marked DIFFA‘s Annual Dining by Design fundraiser. The event is DIFFA’s largest fundraisers of the year and takes place during Architectural Digest’s Annual Design show. Dining by Design brings together designers from all over the country each presenting a new and exciting tablescape for the sake of a worthy cause. Each Designer is provided an unfinished space to transform into an imaginative decadent dining experience. Each one a definitive representation of the artist’s mindset and aesthetic sense. Though most provide a fanciful and extravagant image of dining, they can all be used for inspiration in any humble abode. We encourage anyone with a passion for pretty things or philanthropy to attend this fundraiser for DIFFA.

In case you didn’t know, DIFFA is one of the largest funders of HIV/AIDS service and education programs in the United States. Since being founded in 1984, DIFFA has mobilized the immense resources of the design communities to provide over $40 million to hundreds of AIDS service organizations nationwide. For 30 years, DIFFA has been one of the country’s largest supporters of both direct care for people living with AIDS and preventative education for those at risk.

The installments prepared for the evening  were created by an eclectic mix of interior designers who worked hard to create fanciful and chic dining experiences.  Each of the setups had a unique personality all its own and will likely inspire more than a few attendees to spruce up their homes.  Though many were presented here are our favorite personalities:

DIFFA Honors David Rockwell

by Desha Winborne
 

Once in a great while, someone truly deserving is honored by their peers.  New York-based Architect and designer David Rockwell is one who is truly worthy of praise and admiration.  On November 9th Rockwell was the person of honor at a grand cocktail party sponsored by DIFFA.  The charitable agency, Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, (DIFFA), honored Rockwell for his unyielding commitment to its core values and ideals.  As chairman Rockwell has worked tirelessly for the organization helping to provide direct care for people living with HIV as well as preventative education.  The moving tribute was held in the amazing IAC building.  The venue itself an artistic tribute with its interesting pieces and structures throughout.  Guests at the event enjoyed cocktails as well as an assortment of appetizers, including a very sampling of olive oil and basil ice cream cones.
