Other standout moments included a DIFFA NIGHTS dance party on Friday, a design-industry insider auction with great finds, a couture-filled pop-up shop in partnership with Repurpose and curated by Robert Verdi, riveting panels and activations including weaving with renowned artist Suzanne Tick, and of course, 21 stunning vignettes designed by leading creatives from Rockwell Group, Carl Hansen & Søn, Gensler, and Steelcase, to name just a few.

The three-day event with a theme of coming back together was a massive success, gathering over 2,500 attendees and raising over $540,000 to help those across the country struggling with HIV/AIDS, homelessness, food scarcity, and mental health issues.
