Our local Dining by Design
is one of my favorite events of the year. As a member of the Steering Committee
I am always involved in the behind-the-scenes details of the event, but usually
don’t have much interaction with the actual tables. My first glimpse is usually
when I encounter them at the venue.
I’m always amazed at the
creativity of the designers who create the event’s signature “Over-the-top
tabletop”, and how much work goes into these works of art.
Most design is a sum of
it’s parts and as they say: “the devil is in the details”, but in this case
it’s the divine!
Here are some of my
favorite details from our most recent event which was held on November 16th
and 17th:
Monogrammed napkin detail
at the Gary Hutton Design table:
Corrugated cardboard light
fixtures at a table designed by Alexandra Torre:
Male and Female “bums” at
a table designed by Room Service:
A “charred” chair at the
“Phoenix” table designed by Mondo Guera (of Project Runway fame), and students

Living Positive By Design campaign:
A checkerboard floor
covering utilizing various garden materials at the table designed by Shades of
Green Landscape:

statement at the Academy of Art table:
