For the second consecutive year, Florim is proud to confirm its support to DIFFA (Design Industries Foundations Fighting AIDS) for the annual fundraising event “Dining by Design”.
The event brings together thousands of supporters to raise awareness in the fight against HIV / AIDS and involves the most prestigious design and architectural firm in a competition based on the interpretation of the theme of a dining room.
The designed spaces, unique for interpretative and narrative style, will be visible during the show opening hours and will host, on March 26th, the gala dinner, in the presence of the various sponsors and designers.
This year’s Florim space was designed by the acclaimed firm HOK and celebrates the concept of time and being together.
The Florim large porcelain slabs of the new Prexious of Rex collection (Dream Arabesque and Charming Amber) and Stones & More 2.0 collection (Stone Calacatta), together with I Classici di Rex (Marquinia) collection and Black Silk, cover the surfaces in a radial mosaic on large scale that combines, in a reasoned rhythm, colors and finishes and that involves the entire designed space.
In partnership with Studio TK, the living area with chairs and tables, made using as top Florim slabs from FLORIM stone brand.
The Florim space at DIFFA Dining by Design designed by HOK was made also possible thanks to FOSCARINI – lighting, Renaissance contract lighting and furnishings – powder coated elements, and Wolf Gordon – Silver flash ceiling wallcovering.
Project statement
Dining together is a quintessential human experience: the perfect environment to share thoughts, connect with others and strengthen relationships. Inspired by the concept of time & gathering, we celebrate the joy our dinner together brings and the beautiful energy that radiates throughout.
