Our award for Designer of the Year at the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2026 goes to @willoperron , the mastermind behind some of the world’s most spectacular cultural moments. For more than 20 years, @perronstudios has been shaping the visual language of contemporary culture, capturing the creative zeitgeist through environments that sit at the intersection of music, fashion, art and performance.
His work is defined by an instinctive understanding of atmosphere, scale and emotion, translating ideas into experiences that feel both immediate and enduring. Built through collaboration, intuition and a belief in design as a cultural force, Perron’s practice reveals how space can frame how culture is seen, felt and remembered
