SUZANNE RHEINSTEIN

Suzanne Rheinstein is an internationally recognized interior designer and the owner of Hollyhock, the renowned home furnishing and accessories shop, known for its unique antiques and decorative pieces.   Her signature style is often described as elegant civility—“fewer things but better things”- encompassing a mixture of beautiful objects, furniture styles, personal art, painted surfaces, and great attention to comfort, textures, details and light.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Suzanne has a deep appreciation for the traditions of that city.  Her Southern sense of style and hospitality, the visual sophistication she acquired living on the East Coast and her appreciation for the relaxed lifestyle of southern California have made her a sought-after talent. 

Her first book, At Home: A Style for Today with Things from the Past, (Rizzoli, November 2010) focuses on six of her signature projects, including her own homes in Los Angeles and New York City.  Each of the projects is documented in extensive, loving detail.  As Mayer Rus states in his review, “…the pages of At Home are rife with graciousness and beauty, sentimentality and connoisseurship, sophistication and savoir faire.”   Each home exemplifies her personal mantra; “every day is all there is” (Joan Didion), demonstrating how living well every day is much more important than getting your house together for a special occasion.  The Wall Street Journal named the book a best seller. 

Suzanne has created two collections of fabrics for Lee Jofa.  Antique textiles from her personal collection inspire beautiful prints, weaves and embroideries.  Refined silk, mohair, linen and cotton provide the perfect foundation for her fresh and understated interpretations of centuries-old designs. The colors encompass her soft, subtle palette of blues, greens, soft neutrals, yellows and lavenders.   Her rug collection for Lee Jofa will debut in 2012.

Suzanne and her work have been featured in numerous regional and national magazines, books and blogs.  She has received several significant design awards and was recently named as one of ELLE DECOR’s A-List of Top Designers for 2011. 

DAVID KLEINBERG

DAVID KLEINBERG is one of the most respected names in interior design.  Over a thirty-year career, including more than fifteen years with the venerable firm of Parish Hadley, Kleinberg has created a body of work that is wide-ranging in style yet always modern in sensibility.  A carefully curated mix of antiques, fabrics, textures, finishes, art, and objects is key to the striking rooms he develops.  Boldly inspired or carefully nuanced, Kleinberg’s interiors are above all clean-lined, sophisticated, and relevant to a contemporary audience.

Fall, 2012 marks the publication of TRADITIONAL NOW: INTERIORS BY DAVID KLEINBERG (Monacelli Press).  This book brings together more than twenty residential interiors, each with an accessible, engaging story that covers not only the project but also larger questions of interior design.  Just as Kleinberg’s projects are carefully calibrated to their occupants, his commentary offers a fascinating inside look at how the interiors are created.  He answers questions like – Where do you start? How is the color palette determined? What is the best furniture plan? How do you select antiques? – thoughtfully and informatively.

DAVID KLEINBERG founded David Kleinberg Design Associates (DKDA) in 1997.  His work is published regularly in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, House & Garden, House Beautiful, Veranda and numerous other media outlets.  He recently launched his second rug collection, “Return To Tradition”, with Patterson, Flynn & Martin which is available in decorative showrooms nationwide.  For more information, please visit www.dkda.com
