Part Two - Here is dessert !

More than 500 design enthusiasts attended the divine cocktail event for DIFFA’s Dining By Design 2014  and the Architectural Digest’s Home Design Show.  DIFFA celebrates its 30th year as one of the largest contributors of service and education programs for HIV/AIDS in the United States. 

As in years past, the event brings together some of the most talented and celebrated individuals in the worlds of fashion, interior design, art, and architecture.  The goal is to create spectacular, over-the-top dining environments that keep our sophisticated design community buzzing.  Enjoy . . . . .
