It's our annual ranking of design firms based on the previous year's fees
FOR 28 YEARS, and as part of our annual Retail Design Firm Resource Guide, VMSD has ranked the top retail design firms from around the globe.
Based on submitted design firm fees from completed projects in 2021, and complemented by our comprehensive listing of design/architecture firms and independent designers found on vmsd.com, from the U.S. and abroad, our ranking showcases the perseverance of the retail design industry as we move into the post-pandemic era. (Our Retail Design Firm Resource Guide can be found year-round at vmsd.com/resource-guide.)
