DBD 2007 Information and Press

We are delighted to announce that DIFFA’s signature event DBD will return to Boston this winter. Once again, we will bring Boston's most extraordinary designers, artists, and personalities together to showcase their remarkable talents for creating astonishing tabletop environments.

The event is truly a feast for the eyes, body, and heart. As you can imagine, we are thrilled that CRI will again be the beneficiary of this remarkable event. With successful fundraising events like DBD Boston, CRI can continue leading the way in AIDS research.

Brought to you by Beringer Third Century, Benjamin Moore, Hewlett Packard, and Elit from Stolichnaya and sponsored by the New York Times, Architectural Digest, Gourmet, and Domino, this year’s event will be one of the most highly anticipated and glamorous events in the Boston design community.

Thanks to the commitment and generosity of the Boston Design Center, we are also thrilled to announce that the event will have a new and exciting addition. DBD Boston 2008 will feature a daytime public preview event, inviting the general public to tour Boston’s beautiful table environments and a unique opportunity to show at the Boston Design Center’s 87 remarkable designer showrooms before the Dining By Design Gala on Saturday, December 6.
