We love to cover DIFFA’s Dining by Design event for the blog (see 2010, 2011, 2012) and we are particularly excited because Aerin Lauder designed our table this year using a pattern from her yet-to-be-released collection of fabrics with Lee Jofa.
Available this summer, the collection is elegant and feminine, and so is the Dining by Design table. The table, walls and chairs are covered in a floral pattern on linen called Montrose in Amethyst, which will appear in the collection in many colors on linen and also as a printed velvet.
The pattern is one of Aerin’s favorites. Of Montrose, she said, “Inspired by damask, this large scale graphic evolution is a print I easily imagine living with year round, city or country. It is a stronger, less delicate feminine print that I also love to use for wall coverings.”
The table will be on display through the weekend as part of the Architectural Digest Home Design Show at Pier 94 in New York City. Tickets are still available for Cocktails by Design, a star studded party Saturday night. For information, visit www.diffa.org.
If you aren’t able to visit Dining by Design, you can still support DIFFA by checking out the online auction, which includes some incredible one-of-a-kind items and experiences. Stopping the spread of AIDS and educating about AIDS awareness are major priorities for DIFFA, and for our industry as a whole, and we are proud to support this organization.
