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:
“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
