Randy Esada’s popular home design showroom Prospr has outgrown its original location at 7407 Beverly Blvd. Now, an additional storefront has opened at 158 N. La Brea Ave.

“I started stocking more furniture, and in the other store, the walls were kind of closing in on me,” he said.

In his new store, Esada still brings his penchant flare, mixing together antique home furnishing and decorative art with his own modern designs. Many of the pieces are genuine antiques or from storied designers, often valued in the tens thousands of dollars. Others are reproductions or interpretations by Esada. Everything from sofas, lamps, chandeliers, dining tables, end tables, coffee tables to sconces can be found throughout Prospr.

Esada aims to offer furniture and design pieces at a price that allows home owners to include authentic, designer furniture.

“This is a Hendrix Allardyce mirror,” he said, pointing to an ornate, meticulously crafted piece. “That probably retails in the $18,000-range. My price is 8,800.”

He said the reason such pieces are important is that they are a “known quantity.”

“You can buy it in good faith knowing you’re getting a really good price on something that’s more valuable that what we’ve priced it at,” he said. “[We have] the vintage designers – the things by Dennis and Leen, Formations, Paul Ferrante – most people only dream of being able to afford things like that. But what I do is make that affordable to people. And I only buy it if it’s in great condition or I can make in great condition.”

During the store’s opening month customers can get 25% off his usual price. He also includes unique artwork throughout his store.

“To a novice buyer, they don’t know what to buy and what’s a good value,” Esada said. “We do all that for you. We don’t sell anything that we don’t know what it is.”

Some of the artwork featured throughout his new store is by his husband Dave Wilcox, whose unique style offers caricatures of Betty Boop and James Dean, amongst other striking, colorful designs.

When looking for pieces, Esada said he looks for items that have “a soul.” He pointed out a crucifix on display.

“I’m not a religious person … but it made it into the store,” he said. “When people love their art … it comes out in their work. Real artisans who made tribute piece to their religion sometimes make amazing art.”

In addition to his brick-and-morter locations, Esada sells on 1stdibs.com, incollect.com and charish.com. The new shop is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, while the Beverly Blvd. location continues to operate from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
