Some of you know how much I look forward to the spectacular dining installations showcased at DIFFA‘s Dining By Design tour each year. And I know how much you loved seeing these last year.
DIFFA, Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, launched the 2009 DINING BY DESIGN tour in New York City, March 26-30, 2009. Dining by Design (DBD) brings together some of the most talented and celebrated individuals in the worlds of fashion, interior design, art, and architecture to create spectacular, over-the-top dining environments. Michael C. Fina outfitted five tables for DBD with exclusive merchandise from their 5th Avenue store.
True, some of the dining installations are a bit much, but I enjoy looking at the details in each of them. Some are not only very inspiring but a good source for party decor ideas. I should create a separate section on Mochatini for those ideas that we can extrapolate from.

DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS 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 $38 million to hundreds of AIDS service organizations nationwide. For more than 23 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.
