Design International

General information

Since its inception in Toronto (Canada) in 1965, Design International has stood out for its innovative and industry-leading designs.

Building on its early renown as an interior retail design business, the firm has grown into a leading architectural practice, recognized the world over for its innovative work. Widely regarded as one of the industry pioneers in retail architecture, our unique, beautifully crafted designs have won many international awards, and underpin our place as a trendsetter in our field.

Innovative and ambitious, we are always looking for ways to grow, expanding our offer into new and exciting areas such as transport retail and hospitality. We relish the challenge of designing transportation hubs which, despite the short period people typically spend in them, provide unique and engaging experiences for them all. We are expanding into new geographies too and open our new office in Dubai in Autumn 2017. This will complement our existing offices in London, Milan and Shanghai from which we provide services across seven integrated divisions: Architecture, Masterplanning, Interior Design, Lighting Design, Landscape Design, Signage & Wayfinding, Branding & Marketing

50 years into our journey, Design International goes from strength to strength and is looking forward to the next 50 years helping our clients create unique places that enrich local stories and experiences.
