DIFFA's Dining by Design

DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS launched DINING BY DESIGN with 5-days of events running concurrently with the Architectural Digest Home Design Show at Pier 94 in New York City from Thursday, March 18th through Monday, March 22nd.

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber hosted the gala dinner. DIFFA’s DINING BY DESIGN brought 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.

The multi-city tour, which in past years has raised more than $13 million for DIFFA, featured awe-inspiring dining installations by design luminaries such as David Rockwell for Rockwell Group, David Stark for Benjamin Moore, Michael Tavano for New York Design Center, Poggenpohl for MMPI, David Beahm for Continental Airlines, Moore & Giles for Architectural Digest, Walt Disney Signature, Kravet Inc., Joseph Carini for Carini Lang, Alfredo Paredes for Ralph Lauren Home, Vicente Wolf for Artistic Tile, 2Michaels, Bradley Stephens, Eric Warner, Shelly Sabel Designs, Slade Architecture and Kiril Kirov of Razortooth.

Sponsors included Benjamin Moore, The New York Design Center, Merchandise Mart Properties, Continental Airlines, HP Computer Company and Cindy Crawford Style™, exclusively at JCPenney. Media sponsors include Architectural Digest, The New York Times and Manhattan Magazine. Wines were donated by HobNob and Luksusova Vodka donated spirits.

Once again the Student Design Initiative presented by Benjamin Moore returned to DBD New York. Participating design schools included: FIT with mentor David Stark, Pratt with mentor Marc Blackwell, SVA with mentor Miles Redd, NYU with mentor David Rockwell and NYSID with mentor Michael Tavano. Design mentors guided their student teams through the creative process from conception to execution, working within a strict budget. The goal of the Student Design Initiative is to give the next generation of great designers the rare opportunity to work with some of the best design veterans in the business and participate in one of the industry’s most anticipated events.
