DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS is one of the country’s largest supporters of direct care for people living with HIV/AIDS and preventive education for those at risk. Merging care and commerce, supporters of DIFFA come from all fields of fine design and the visual arts, including: architecture, fashion design, interior design, photography and consumer product design.

With fundraising efforts bolstered by strategic partnerships and unique events showcasing innovation and creativity, DIFFA has mobilized the immense resources of the design communities and granted over $40 million to hundreds of AIDS service organizations nationwide.

Since being founded in 1984 by Patricia Green and Larry Pond, DIFFA has granted funds to organizations which fight AIDS by providing:

• preventive education programs targeted to populations at risk of infection
• treatment and direct-care services for people living with HIV/AIDS
• public policy initiatives which add resources to private sector efforts

DIFFA - Dining by Design - Part 3 - Architectural Digest Home Show

It was such a pleasure to tour this year's DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS Dining by Design exhibition during the Architectural Digest Home Show with some of my friends on #BlogTourNYC with Modenus as a BlogTour alum.

Being able to visit the exhibition with last year's still very fresh on my mind.. (visit the posts from last year here, here and here) was exciting to see how some of this year's designers who were also present last year, shared a very different point of view.

Being an official New Yorker now for the past 5 years.. there is something about this installation piece that really strikes a chord for me.. simple and beautiful while touching on an emotional connection to those of us that actually look up when visiting Manhattan.
