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:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
