ABOUT DINING BY DESIGN Dining by Design brings together established talent, budding artists and celebrated individuals who create more than 50 three-dimensional dining installations to awe, inspire and delight. This collaboration between DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS and the AIDS Research Institute at the University of California, San Francisco, benefits the Positive Health Program at San Francisco General Hospital, ranked as the nation’s top HIV/AIDS/STD, Aware clinic since 1983.
This year, Alia Meyer of Jessica Hall Associates and of the SFDC’s Design Studio program will design the SFDC-sponsored table.
WEEK ONE PICTORIAL 
Meyer’s first difficult decision was deciding whether to start with the resources that were currently available and work backwards or to start with a big concept and do her best to build around it.

Meyer contemplates pom color options, design layouts and material selections for her table design. The use of a floor plan helps her to visualize the project in its entirety.

Based on the palette of the rug, Meyer, Nicolas Sauzier and Jessica Hall Grace open the pom box and take their first color directed step. The choice to use Melograno Blu for the light fixtures will help Meyer to keep focus on her original inspiration, the majesty of moonlight.

Meyer discussing color options for the tassels on the Melograno Blu light fixtures with Veronika Mikahalash, Shannon Koebel and Tula Batochir.

It is difficult to choose from the many magical fixtures available through Melograno Blu. Alia Meyer, Veronika Mikahalash, Shannon Koebel and Tula Batochir contemplate choosing the Calaf fixuture based on the piece’s exquisite glass work and the fun colorful accent provided by the tassel.

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable and economically vital spans in the nation. So it was not surprising when the U.S. Office of Homeland Security (OHS) discovered the bridge listed on a terrorist memo of potential targets.
However, working with the San Francisco Police Department, the OHS has devised a plan to keep the bridge safe.
“We’ve hired 25 young, beautiful women willing to remove all their clothing and station themselves at strategic points on and approaching the bridge,” explained San Francisco Police Public Information Officer Bruce Onder.
“Hopefully, that will keep religious radicals from coming near the structure.”
According to Dr. Henry Chilvers, Professor Emeritus of Religion and Morality at the University of Sprituality in Sacramento, “Many orthodox faiths demand that a woman cover herself completely, excluding the face and hands, from men except her husband. Most religious zealots who would harm our nation are youths who have not seen one naked woman, let alone many. The shock, shame or simple eye-popping spectacle is going to make them do a U-turn pretty quickly. Or else drive into the bay, which is just as good.”
Operation Bust Attacks, as the project has been named, is scheduled to begin within the next two weeks. Are any problems anticipatedä
“Oh, we imagine we’ll get some complaints from the Religious Right and from parents of small children,” responded Onder. “But it’s the ‘new normal’ so they’ll just have to cover some eyes and deal with it.”
If Operation Bust Attacks is a success, arrangements will immediately be made to have naked women stationed at the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, the Alamo and Independence Hall.
Expressing the OHS sentiments in a remark that is sure to live alongside Sherman’s “War is Hell” and MacArthur’s “I shall return,” Onder commented, “If the enemy wants to fight dirty, we’ll give ’em dirty.”
