Dust Buster

Suzan Fellman Showroom

Attention, concerned conservationists: The once-thriving cumulus oryctolagus cuniculus minor, more commonly known as the dust bunny, is under attack.

Its formerly plentiful habitat — nooks, crannies, and dark crevices fostered by sluggish home decor — is being thoughtlessly destroyed by humans hell-bent on rearranging their furniture.

To make matters worse, designer Suzan Fellman has just opened a concept shop and showroom that’s sure to cause a total loss of control over redecorating-related urges.

Her 600-square-foot space sucks people in with its tightly edited selection of furnishings, art, and textiles. Even innocent stoppers-by in search of new ideas are liable to leave with a vintage-scarf bolster pillow they didn’t even know they needed.

Even more alarming is that Fellman intends to switch up the theme every few months. Right now it’s everything in pairs (Moroccan lamps, porcelain cats, iron daybeds); next it’ll be Chinoiserie. All of which is sure to drive that elusive creature even closer to extinction.

Act now before another one bites the dust.

Suzan Fellman, 678 South Cloverdale Avenue, between Wilshire Boulevard and Sixth Street, Miracle Mile (323-936-7759 or suzanfellman.com).
