The Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, well known for its Dining by Design series, headed to Austin for the first time this year, bringing another signature event to the Texas city with the help of designer Kelly LePlante. After street construction at its original venue, Textile Event Space, prompted a last-minute move, Diffa hosted Urban Picnic by Design at Trinity Hall on September 11. More than 20 local designers worked on 16 tables in the indoor setting, mixing vintage and modern looks, referencing shows like Breaking Bad, and combining flowers with textiles.
Here's a look at some of the most inspiring picnic table designs.
