A feast for the eyes was set as top designers and leading figures in the worlds of fashion, interior design, art, and architecture joined together to celebrate Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) and the 10th anniversary of Dining by Design, which is a unique event that showcases the personal passions of some of the world's leading design talents.

This year's awe-inspiring dining installations were created by visionaries including David Rockwell/Rock-well Group for GE Monogram, Margaret Russell for Elle Décor, Marc Blackwell for Rosemount Estate, and Elexion by Arne Quinze for Lexus.

The imaginative, ultra-luxe table-scapes made for an unforgettable dining experience.

Design-savvy diners included Mariska Hargitay, Beverly Feldman, Jane Seymour, Robert Verdi, Miss Universe Zuleyka Rivera, Susan Blond, Fern Mallis, Jonathan Adler, Laura Vass, Jamie Drake, Jack Kilger, Leven Rambin, Mario Buatta, Marc Ecko, B. Smith, and Tracy Stern.

Trash auteur John Waters put it best when he dubbed the annual event "the Cannes of tabletop."
