Chicago's most talented, intriguing and celebrated interior designers were brought together and paired with generous table hosts to create 3D dining installations during the weekend-long event, DIFFA's Dining By Design in the Merchandis Mart. At the Cocktails Be Design event as part of this 3-day celebration, guests enjoyed cocktails by EFFEN Vodka and LA CREME WINES. Designers and guests socialized in chic lounge areas and participated in the silent auction while enjoying hors d'ouvres from Phil Stefani's Signature Events, specialty cocktails, and signature beers from Stella Artois.
