Okay, you’ve got the fancy tablewear, have a menu planned but need something extra special to make your dinner party unforgettable.

Look no further than DIFFA’s Dining By Design 2011, held this past weekend in New York held in conjunction with the Architectural Digest Home Design Show– another treat for the home design senses.

The DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) annual spring event brings together some the most creative minds in fashion, interior design, art, and architecture, along with next generation designers from the Student Design Initiative, to envision the Pier 49 venue as a blank canvas and then let themselves go to create wildly imaginative and unique one-of-a-kind dining installations.
