Twenty-two years and still going strong, VMSD’s annual Retail Design Firm Resource Guide features a comprehensive listing of contract design firms, design consultancies, independent designers, and architecture and construction firms from around the world – from the U.K. to India to Argentina and beyond.

Each listing – unless non-disclosed – features notable projects completed in 2015, as well as current contact information. And don’t forget to check out the Rankings by Design Firm Fees chart on page 46 of the May issue, and below, derived from total retail design firm fees disclosed by participating design firms. Information in this guide, including fees (where applicable), was provided by individual firms and has not been independently verified by VMSD magazine.

Design firms interested in participating in the 2017 Resource Guide should contact Managing Editor Carly Hagedon at carly.hagedon@stmediagroup.com.
