		For four years, DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) has been quietly—and not so quietly—holding a party called Dining by Design in New York and in the past two years the fund-raiser has been staged in several other cities in the United States.
		Billed as "the Cannes of tabletop," an observation made by filmmaker John Waters, the event is an imaginative and entertaining display of round and oblong dining tables decorated to the hilt by a creative bunch of local designers.
		Typically each DIFFA chapter that stages a Dining by Design event makes the tables available for viewing by the public at a nominal admission fee, usually $10, and each chapter holds a dinner party where table sponsors invite guests or sell tickets to friends to attend and dine at the table.
