eba’s Ways of Working,
As Told by Showroom Manager Edith Calvo

Edith Calvo, showroom manager at eba Haussmann, preparing to discuss eba’s ways of working

It’s our manager Edith Calvo that is likely to welcome you to our eba Haussmann showroom in Paris, and the contact that will be with you throughout your project. We sat down with her to find out more about the process of working with eba, and exactly what it is that makes our services so special.

Entirely modular solutions

"eba's biggest strengths lie in having an in-depth knowledge of furnishings and a high-end positioning with excellent quality furniture, as well as our flexibility to adapt to increasingly demanding customers. In response to client’s requirements, we offer solutions that are entirely modular, so that each person can create the project of their dreams."

Full support every step of the way

From first contact to final adjustments, eba is with you every step of the way.

"After an initial contact, we organise a meeting with our client to show them our collections and better understand their project. At eba, projects always start with a discussion. After the first meeting with our client, we show them our brands, collections and services. We ask them to come with a plan, photos of the space, and an hour of their time in which we can exchange ideas, resolve any of their doubts and better understand their needs."

 Whether it's for a kitchen or a living space, after your first visit to the showroom, we'll study your project, and then pass it on to our design office. When we define the project, everything is accounted for: your interior wants, your needs, your electronic appliance preferences, your constraints, and, of course, your budget.

“From that first meeting on, our goal is to make our client's dreams come to life. We pass the mantle to our design office who produce 3D plans and provide all the necessary documents for the clients to envisage the design. At the second meeting we go through these plans together."

Hand-picked brands

All the brands distributed at eba are subject to very strict specifications. Our goal is to offer you only the best, from both a quality and ethical standpoint.

"We work with brands who are very well-positioned in the market. Brands who we identify with in terms of design but also who work with high-quality, natural, durable materials. We look for partners whose process of fabrication is not mass production, but centred around quality. Of course, the designs must be aligned with our brand and aesthetics - namely refined, minimalist lines.”

More than a simple kitchen fitter

The eba experience goes further than the simple fitting of furniture, and it starts with our client relationships. We take the time to get to know you, to discuss your project and to give you time to mull it over. We pay close attention throughout the process and bring you our expertise and design vision.

"For each project, depending on the room that will be furnished, we stress the importance of the layout and aesthetics being in accordance with however the room will be used by those living there. Getting to know the client is fundamental to knowing how to adapt the project to their tastes and to personalise it. In order to do that, listening is a key part of the overall eba process. Each project is individual and unique."

Unique projects

"At eba, every project has its particularities, and we get stuck in in the same way for each one." We innovate to bring you the best solutions for whatever the layout or challenges of your particular space are.

“The advice that I always give is to choose high-quality materials, even if that results in a higher price, because it's an investment in time. My second piece of advice is to anticipate how much storage you'll need: it fills up quickly, and we always need more!”
