Iman and Petra Nemcova at the opening night reception of the 2011 Design on a Dime showcase

Get a first look at the interior spectacles showcased at this year’s Design on a Dime show at an opening night reception and VIP preview on Thursday, April 26. Benefiting the Housing Works “Get a Room” initiative, which provides HIV positive New Yorkers in need with lifesaving services, the annual design show pools the world’s top design talent together to create eclectic room vignettes with Housing Works merchandise. The best part? Everything is for sale!

Opening night for the eighth annual event promises to be a philanthropically star-studded event: last year’s guest list included Iman, Nate Berkus, Petra Nemcova, June Ambrose, and Andy Cohen. This year, Design on a Dime founding chair James Huniford will be joined by co-chairs Evette Rios, Charlotte Moss, and Lara Spencer.
