So sad to hear of the passing of Suzanne Rheinstein. Her eponymous store on La Cienega, Holly Hock was a treasure trove of antiques, interesting and unique accessory items and great art…it was a must stop for any designer. Her southern roots were evident in a lot of her design choices and application.
She left a lasting legacy on the Southern California Design Community and she will be sorely missed.
