DIFFA'S DINING BY DESIGN

DIFFA’S DINING BY DESIGN - Designers and corporations from the Columbus area came together to raise money at DIFFA’s 10th Anniversary of Dining By Design presented by Elle Décor and GE Monogram. For the first time, Columbus was one of eight cities to host DIFFA’s (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) annual fundraiser to benefit AIDS research and awareness. Dining By Design allows designers to construct dining installations to be on display for the first night of the event and then to accommodate dinner guests on the second evening. On the first evening, over 2,500 guests the mesmerizing displays and installations. Installations were completed by American Express, Anthropology, Smith and Hawkin, SAKS Fifth Avenue, Henri Bendel, GE Monogram, Limited Brands, Victoria’s Secret, Fitch Design, Abercrombie and Fitch, Crane Plastics, NBC, Rosemount Estates, Pizzuti Companies, Landfare, Nationwide Insurance, The Columbus Dispatch, Collier West, Waterworks, Beulah Park and EventCo Productions, just to name a few. EventCo’s installation “Safari Sophistication” was created by HGTV’s Rob Whittlef from the show Decorating Cents. Columbus’ Dining By Design was anything but ordinary, with just one installation worth over $5 million and having its own security guards and surveillance monitoring cameras, guests were in awe of the creativity and sophistication of all the designs.

The mind-boggling task of the necessary creation of this event space required total re-construction, rehab and upgrades to a former 48,000 square foot auto dealership and mechanics bay. The venue was built in 1946. The location conversion for the new Dining By Design event encompassed over 4 months, and was met with rave reviews, applauding the magical transformation of the venue!”
