DINING BY DESIGN, presented by DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, in its eight year in San Francisco, is the most anticipated high-design charitable event, showcasing top designers who create fantastic, one-of-a-kind tabletop installations that are unveiled for two nights only.

DINING BY DESIGN in San Francisco continues to be one of the city's premier high-design charity events every autumn. This year's event takes place over two nights: the TABLE HOP & TASTE cocktail table preview party and the seated GALA DINNER . We are pleased to welcome back several previous table sponsors and top designers and we look forward to introducing many new participants. Based on significant pre-sales of tables and early submissions of table design concepts, 2008 promises to again raise the bar for earnings and aesthetics.

This year's San Francisco event Honorary Chair is Ronette King, principal of the interior design practice at Gensler Architecture. Event co-chairs are Heather Luplow Hartle, editorial and creative director, and Susie McCormick, associate publisher, both of 7x7 and California Home + Design magazines of Hartle Media Ventures; and Ron Morgan internationally renowned floral designer and publisher.

TABLE HOP & TASTE November 19, 2008 from 6-10PM
