If you're still struggling with finding inspiration for this year's holiday spread, allow DIFFA's Dining by Design event to serve as your muse. The annual San Francisco event benefits low-income patients at San Francisco's largest — and the world's first — HIV/AIDS clinic. With over 20 jaw-dropping designer tablescapes under one roof, it's nearly impossible to leave uninspired. Yesterday, I got a sneak peek of the tables just before the opening night kicked off. Keep reading to see the jaw-dropping designs that wowed me this year.

Thanks casasugar for the fantastic coverage. As a first timer, it feels great to be a part of such a important event! I could't have done it without the support of my family who helped sponsor the table, and I definitely look forward to doing it again! -imani/goldfeverstudio

Dear Angela and the team at casasugar, Thank you very much for featuring my dining environment installation from DIFFA's Dining by Design San Francisco! I had a wonderful time designing an installation that reflects my love for San Francisco. I collaborated with designer/builder - Paul O'Rourke and we pulled inspiration from the Bay Area's breathtaking natural surroundings, the contemporary urban environment of the city and the diversity of cultures in SF. We were honored to be among other designers showcasing the amazing creative talents of San Francisco. See you next year! Karen
