FR Review:
Mixing the classically enduring and beautifully erudite with excessive fun is Eric Cohler's modus operandi. Known for realizing his clients' visions with a dedicated interest and an edge toward the future, Cohler is said to have his clients' view at heart. With a confident countenance, this designer deftly composes the fine and the found, the traditional and the postmodern. Appreciated for his architectural inventiveness as well as his design skills, Cohler effectively works with clients' architects from a project's inception, adding significant architectural enhancements.

Clients laud Cohler for his helpful, reliable and diplomatic nature, saying he quickly understands their intentions. Cohler's training includes a BA in art history and an MS in historic preservation and design from Columbia University. On his own since 1990, he comes recommended by more established designers and the trade as a rising star in the industry. He currently has a staff of six, including two senior designers, but clients note that Cohler remains very accessible.

The firm works with a low up-front design fee and a reasonable markup over net for products. Alternatively, it can work on an hourly fee basis when shopping for products. Standard oversight fees are charged on a percentage basis. Cohler gravitates to the best quality the budget will allow, but he is perfectly willing to mix his aesthetic with the clients' existing furniture and new Crate & Barrel items. Known as Mr. Answerman, Cohler has wide-ranging resources and can accommodate many budget levels, remaining value-conscious whatever the price. He recently debuted a substantial couture-inspired line of fabrics at Lee Jofa with a wide range of price points. Professional, businesslike and generous, Cohler has an excellent reputation with past clients, who frequently ask him back. HB Top Designers, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005.

Representative Client Comments:
We have some new layouts for the report cards here. Essentially the way it works is that we want different templates to load depending on a vendor's status with us. The two conditions that affect which template is displayed are whether the vendor has a portfolio, and whether the vendor has a franklin report rating (any data entered into the ratings boxes on their manage record). That leads to four possible contingencies, each of which has a specific template:
