DINING BY DESIGN

This table sponsored by Ann Sacks was designed by Julio Quinones for Saturday night’s DIFFA fundraising event, Dining by Design. Small stools from Baker Knapp & Tubbs, en lieu of chairs, allow for a lot of people to gather around the table without feeling crowded. The chandelier is vintage Venini; and while it’s hard to see, the floor and parts of the wall are decorated with Ann Sacks tile. There are about 40 tables designed by various sponsors, including Neiman Marcus and Jan Showers Associates. All the tables are individually draped off, which is a smart way to create a feeling of intimacy inside the unwieldy interiors of the Dallas Trade Mart, where the party is being held.
