The Art Of The Table
I had the honor to participate in a preview event for DIFFA’s (Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS)Dining by Design 2009, graciously hosted by Gump’s, Orlando Diaz-Azcuy. Martha Angus, Ken Fulk, andmyself, each designed a unique dining environment.
The event was a kind of “amuse bouche” for what is to come on November 18th and 20th, 2009, at the Galleria in the San Francisco Design Center when we celebrate our eighth year of Dining by Design in San Francisco and interior designers, architects, artists and event designers once again will create the most over-the-top dining environments to benefit the UCSF Positive Health Program, a program of the AIDS Research Institute at the San Francisco General Hospital.
Each of us designed a smaller version expressing “The Art of the Table” for four to six guests instead of ten. But the results were not less impressive by any means. The styles ranged from the understated, over the playful and the subliminal to the dramatic. In fact the event drew such a crowd that Gump’s had to close the guest list four days prior.
