VMSD’s annual Retail Design Firm Resource Guide turns 24 this year, and features a comprehensive list of contract design firms, independent designers and architecture firms from around the world — from India to Australia and everywhere in between.
Each listing — unless non-disclosed — lists every firm’s standout projects from 2017 and their current contact information.(See the full listing in the magazine here.)
For the Rankings by Design Firm Fees table, derived from total retail design firm fees disclosed by participating firms, see below.
Design firms interested in participating in the 2019 Resource Guide should contact the VMSD editorial staff by emailing vmsd@stmediagroup.com.
