History
International Design Guild (IDG) initially formed in 1992 as Design Supply Guild, a franchise program. In 1995 the name changed to International Design Guild when CCA Global Partners (formerly Carpet Co-op of America, parent company of Carpet One) purchased it. IDG operates 100 showrooms throughout North America. Under CCA Global Partners, International Design Guild has broadened its reach to include high-end retail floor covering stores as well as designer showrooms.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
