International Design Guild (IDG) is an American company headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA. Owned by CCA Global Partners, IDG is a co-op of home décor member showrooms that specialize in the high-end floor covering retail and trade industries.

One-third of all IDG members sell exclusively to the design trade and are not open to the general public. IDG’s business strategy allows members to serve both the luxury consumer and the interior designer. IDG members are required to constantly improve and fine-tune their service and product standards.

Many of IDG’s bestselling products are manufactured outside the United States. Unusual, hard-to-find proprietary products are a vital element of the Guild’s business strategy. IDG markets its exclusive Dabbieri Naturals Collection (formerly The Dabbieri Collection), which is made up of as much as 100% natural and renewable fibers.

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.
