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:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“There are two great unknown forces to-day, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman.”
—Josephine K. Henry, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 15, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
