Top Retail Design Firms of 2020

Twenty-six years and going strong, VMSD’s Retail Design Firm Resource Guide is the industry’s most comprehensive listing of design firms and independent designers from around the globe.

This year, we’re highlighting the top design firms in print, while the full listing will be available year round on vmsd.com. These top design firms are ranked based on submitted design firm fees from completed projects in 2019.
