PROJECT 2
Etsy, Dublin, Ireland
The new European hub for an e-commerce brand has been designed by Gensler and features craftsmanship from local Irish artisans, as well as a dedicated focus on sustainability
ETSY ENLISTED GENSLER to create a transformative workspace in Dublin that brings the brand to life through creative partnerships with local artisans. The new European hub is a dynamic environment that nurtures collaboration and community for this global e-commerce leader.
As part of Etsy’s strategy to reimagine its global hub ofices and following the 2016 relocation of Etsy’s HQ within Brooklyn, New York, Gensler was chosen to design a purposeful workplace in Dublin, Ireland. Nestled on the top floor of a newly constructed building, the space is a vibrant hub for Etsy’s European operations. The ofice doesn’t just help attract and support creative talent; it stands as a beacon for integrating local culture into a global brand. The design team focused on creating a workspace that celebrates local craftsmanship and the rich cultural heritage of Ireland. ‘Etsy’s Dublin ofice is a reflection of its mission to “keep commerce human”,’ comments Megan Dobstaff, design director at Gensler. ‘By collaborating with local artisans and integrating thoughtful, flexible design, we created a space that feels both deeply personal and globally connected. This workspace not only supports Etsy’s team but also tells a larger story about the power of design to bring people and ideas together.’ Etsy’s commitment to community engagement was key to the project’s success. The design features craftsmanship from local Irish artisans, including handmade furniture,
