Students from the New York School of Interior Design (working with design mentor Clodagh) used rope to create a dramatic setting. In lieu of any type of centerpiece, a chandelier of Lucite and filament bulbs was reflected in a mirror running down the table's center.
A burlap-wrapped filament bulb fixture lighted Marc Blackwell's bar-height table for La Crema. Moss centerpieces inside glass cloches completed the rustic yet elegant look.
For the first time, Diffa expanded beyond dining installations to feature a custom bar and lounge area, sponsored by EFFEN Vodka and designed by the brand’s designer partner, Richard Chai. The modern space showcased a sculptural blonde wood bar inspired by the circular shape of the EFFEN bottle.
Roger Thomas's setting for Maya Romanoff had the feel of a fancy dining room in a penthouse apartment. The organic centerpiece—a mound of moss dotted with mushrooms, quartz, and orchids—contrasted with the luxe gold place settings.
