Turning 25 this year, VMSD’s annual Retail Design Firm Resource Guide features its usual comprehensive listing of design firms, independent designers and architecture firms from around the world.
Each listing, unless non-disclosed, lists each company’s 2018 standout projects, as well as current contact information. (View the full listing in the digital edition of the magazine here.)
For the "Rankings by Design Firm Fees" table, derived from total retail design firm fees disclosed by participating firms, see below.
For questions about next year's guide, please contact the VMSD editors at vmsd@stmediagroup.com.
Please note: All firms included in the below list submitted their "design firm fees" to VMSD's 2019 Retail Design Firm Resource Guide in order to be included in the rankings. VMSD did not compile this list on its own, all rankings are based on design firm fees that each company provided upon submission.
