EB Only

Cooper Design Space, Suite 222 (213) 895-6880

Classic investment theory preaches that diversifying assets is the best defense against tough times. Sales representative Eric Byrne hopes a similar strategy will work with his new showroom, EB Only, in the Cooper Design Space.

Byrne was previously a sales rep for the Parasuco label and hated the feeling of co-dependency.

“When you work for one company, if they don’t do their job, you can’t do your job,” he said. “By working with multiple lines, at least you spread your risk out.”

His multiple lines have multiple origins and include Los Angeles–based E-Label, South American brand Pizarro, Japan’s Edwin, Spain’s Cimarron and others.

Now that Byrne has a freshly remodeled showroom, he said, “The biggest challenge is letting people know where I am.” —Christian M. Chensvold
