I had the pleasure to meet two Etsy folks, Randy J Hunt and Dave Brown, for lunch today. Even though Etsy’s headquarter is only two blocks away from swissmiss studio, I never had a chance to stop by. That changed today! Dave gave me a big tour and needless to say, I was quite impressed. Not only do they have a fulltime chef (!), they also bought all their furniture and decoration off Etsy. What struck me is that their office is a 100% true to their brand. The office maintains the handmade feel of the products they carry. Impressive.
Did you see those big giant orange lamps? And the curtains?

As you said, they truly stayed true to their brand. At a first glance I could tell it was {or at least might be} Etsy’s office. Something like this is always great to see, and indeed helpful when one studies branding. Thanks for sharing.

Ahhhh! I love Etsy so much, and now I love it even more. These photos make me want to move right in. Or, maybe I’ll have the kids in my art class make some wacky lamps for the art room. So inspirational.
