Offering Memorandum
Not for General Distribution

International Design Group S.p.A.
720,000,000
320,000,000 Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2025
400,000,000 6 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2025
International Design Group S.p.A., a joint stock company (società per azioni) incorporated under the laws of Italy (the "Issuer"), is offering
320,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2025 (the "Floating Rate Notes") and 400,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 6 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the "Fixed Rate Notes" and, together with the Floating Rate Notes, the
"Notes"), as part of the financing for the proposed acquisition of Flos S.p.A., a company incorporated in Italy, and its subsidiaries (as more specifically
described herein, the "Flos Acquisition"), Luminous Designs Investments ApS, a company incorporated in Denmark, and its subsidiaries (as more
specifically described herein, the "LP Acquisition") and B&B Italia S.p.A., a company incorporated in Italy, and its subsidiaries (as more specifically
described herein, the "B&B Acquisition" and, together with the Flos Acquisition and the LP Acquisition, the "Acquisitions") by the Issuer. The Issuer is
a holding company formed in connection with the Acquisitions and will not control the Targets (as defined herein) prior to the consummation of the
Acquisitions.
The Floating Rate Notes will mature on November 15, 2025. The Issuer will pay interest on the Floating Rate Notes at a rate equal to three-month
EURIBOR (with 0% floor) plus 6.00% per year, reset quarterly. Interest will be paid on the Floating Rate Notes quarterly in arrears on February 15,
May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2019. Prior to November 15, 2019, the Issuer will be entitled, at its
option, to redeem all or, from time to time, a portion of the Floating Rate Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, plus a "make-whole" premium. At any time on or after November 15, 2019,
the Issuer may redeem all or part of the Floating Rate Notes at the redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum (the "Offering
Memorandum"). The Fixed Rate Notes will mature on November 15, 2025. The Issuer will pay interest on the Fixed Rate Notes semi-annually on each
May 15 and November 15, commencing May 15, 2019. Prior to November 15, 2021, the Issuer will be entitled, at its option, to redeem all or a portion
of the Fixed Rate Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional
amounts, if any, plus a "make-whole" premium. At any time on or after November 15, 2021, the Issuer may redeem all or from time to time a portion
of the Fixed Rate Notes at the redemption prices set forth in this Offering Memorandum. In addition, prior to November 15, 2021, the Issuer may on
one or more occasions redeem at its option up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes with the net proceeds from certain
equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the Offering Memorandum, provided that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal
amount of the Fixed Rate Notes remains outstanding after each redemption. Prior to November 15, 2021, the Issuer may redeem during each calendar
year up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes originally issued (including any additional Fixed Rate Notes) at its option,
from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest
and additional amounts, if any.
Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a change of control, the Issuer may be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the relevant
series of Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any.
However, a change of control will not be deemed to have occurred if a specified consolidated net leverage ratio is not exceeded in connection with
such event. In addition, the Issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law.
Pending consummation of the Acquisitions, the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) will, concurrently with the issuance of the Notes on the Issue
Date (as defined herein), deposit the gross proceeds of the offering of the Notes into segregated escrow accounts, each in the name of the Issuer. The
escrow accounts will be controlled by JPMorgan Chase N.A. (the "Escrow Agent") and pledged in favor of the Trustee (as defined herein) on behalf of
the holders of the relevant series of Notes. The release of the escrowed proceeds from the escrow accounts will be subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, including the completion of the Acquisitions, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement (as defined herein) and the
relevant Acquisition Agreements (as defined herein) promptly following the escrow release. If the conditions to the release of the escrowed proceeds
have not been satisfied on or prior to the date specified herein, the Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption. The special mandatory
redemption price of each series of Notes will be equal to 100% of the aggregate initial issue price of such series of Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest from the Issue Date to but excluding such special mandatory redemption date and additional amounts, if any. See "Description of Notes--
Escrow of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Redemption".
The Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Issuer and will not be guaranteed on the Issue Date. Within 90 days following the Completion Date
(as defined herein), the Notes, subject to certain agreed security principles, will be guaranteed on a senior basis (the "Notes Guarantees") by the
Guarantors (as defined herein). As of the Issue Date, the Notes will be secured by the Issue Date Collateral (as defined herein). The Notes Guarantees
will be subject to certain material limitations pursuant to applicable laws as described under "Certain Limitations on Validity and Enforceability of the
Notes Guarantees and the Collateral and Certain Insolvency Law Considerations". See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Notes, the Notes Guarantees
and the Collateral--The Notes Guarantees and the Collateral will be subject to certain limitations on enforcement and may be limited by applicable
laws or subject to certain defenses that may limit their validity and enforceability". On or about the Completion Date, the Notes will be secured on a
first-ranking basis, subject to certain agreed security principles, by the Completion Date Collateral (as defined herein). Within 20 business days
following the Completion Date, the Notes will also be secured on a first-ranking basis, subject to certain agreed security principles, by the Post
Completion Date Collateral (as defined herein). The Collateral (as defined herein) will also secure on a first-ranking basis the Revolving Credit Facility
(as defined herein) and certain hedging obligations. Under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined herein), the holders of Notes will
only receive proceeds from the enforcement of the Collateral after the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and counterparties to certain super
priority hedging obligations have been repaid in full.
Subject to and as set forth in "Description of Notes--Additional Amounts", the Issuer will not be liable to pay any additional amounts to holders of
the Notes in relation to any withholding or deduction required pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 239 of April 1, 1996 (as the same may be
amended or supplemented from time to time) ("Decree No. 239") if the Notes are held by a person resident in a country that is not included in the list
issued under Article 11(4)(c) of Decree No. 239, and otherwise in the circumstances as described in "Description of Notes--Additional Amounts".
There is currently no public market for the Notes. We have applied to have the Notes listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the
"LuxSE") and traded on the LuxSE's Euro MTF market (the "Euro MTF Market"). There is no assurance that the Notes will remain listed and admitted
to trading on the Euro MTF Market. This Offering Memorandum constitutes a prospectus for the purposes of Part IV of the Luxembourg law on
prospectuses for securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended.
Each series of Notes will be represented on issue by one or more Global Notes (as defined herein) and the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) expect
to deliver the Notes in book-entry form through Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream") on or about
November 16, 2018 (the "Issue Date").
Investing in the Notes involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 57.
Price for the Floating Rate Notes: 100.000% plus accrued interest, if any, from the Issue Date.
Price for the Fixed Rate Notes: 100.000% plus accrued interest, if any, from the Issue Date.
The Notes and the Notes Guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S.
Securities Act"), or the laws of any other jurisdiction. The Notes will only be offered or sold within the United States to qualified institutional buyers
in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and to persons who are not U.S.
persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act ("Regulation S"). You are hereby notified that sellers of the
Notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. See "Notice to Prospective
U.S. Investors" and "Transfer Restrictions" for additional information about eligible offerees and transfer restrictions.

or will be, taken to permit a public offering in any jurisdiction where action would be required
for that purpose. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and

the legal requirements applicable in such jurisdiction. You must comply with all laws that apply
to you in any place in which you buy, offer or sell any Notes or possess this Offering

authorized by us or the Initial Purchasers.
The information contained in this Offering Memorandum is as of the date hereof. Neither the
delivery of this Offering Memorandum at any time after the date of publication nor any

implication that there has been no change in the information set out in this Offering
Memorandum or in our business since the date of this Offering Memorandum. You should not
assume that the information contained in this Offering Memorandum is accurate as of any date
other than the date on the front of this Offering Memorandum.
The Issuer has prepared this Offering Memorandum solely for use in connection with the offer of
the Notes and the Notes Guarantees to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to

Notes and the Notes Guarantees is true and accurate in all material respects, that the opinions

implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Issuer or the Group since the date
of this Offering Memorandum or that the information contained in this Offering Memorandum
is correct as of any time subsequent to that date.

consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of the Notes, including, without limitation,
the application of U.S. federal tax laws to their particular situations, as well as any consequences
to them under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction. See "Taxation".

MANAGER") (OR PERSON(S) ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE STABILIZATION MANAGER), MAY

PRICE OF THE NOTES AT A LEVEL HIGHER THAN THAT WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE PREVAIL.
HOWEVER, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCES THAT THE STABILIZATION MANAGER (OR PERSON(S)
ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE STABILIZATION MANAGER) WILL UNDERTAKE ANY SUCH
STABILIZATION ACTION. SUCH STABILIZATION ACTION, IF COMMENCED, MAY BEGIN ON OR

NOTES AND MAY BE ENDED AT ANY TIME, BUT IT MUST END NO LATER THAN THE EARLIER
OF 30 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE DATE AND 60 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF

Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the
prior consent of the Initial Purchaser nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or
(c) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive;
provided that no such offer of the Notes shall require the publication by the Issuer or any Initial
Purchaser of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a
prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive. Accordingly, any person making or
intending to make any offer within the EEA of the Notes should only do so in circumstances in
which no obligation arises for the Issuer or the Initial Purchasers to produce a prospectus for such
offer. Neither the Issuer nor the Initial Purchasers have authorized, nor does the Issuer or any
Initial Purchaser authorize, the making of any offer of Notes through any financial intermediary,
other than offers made by the Initial Purchasers, which constitute the final placement of the
Notes contemplated in this Offering Memorandum.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of notes to the public" in relation to
any of the Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by
any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as
to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Notes, as such expression may be
varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in
that Relevant Member State, and the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive
2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU) and includes any relevant
implementing measure in the Relevant Member State.
Each subscriber for or purchaser of the Notes in this offering located within a Relevant Member
State will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a "qualified
investor" within the meaning of Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. The Issuer, the Initial
Purchasers and their affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing
representation, acknowledgement and agreement. Notwithstanding the above, a person who is
not a qualified investor and who has notified the Initial Purchasers of such fact in writing may,
with the consent of the Initial Purchasers, be permitted to subscribe for or purchase the Notes in
this offering.
Professional Investors and ECPs Only Target Market
Solely for the purposes of the product approval process of the manufacturers the target market
assessment in respect of the securities described in this Offering Memorandum has led to the
conclusion that: (i) the target market for such securities is eligible counterparties ("ECPs") and
professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and
(ii) all channels for distribution of such securities to eligible counterparties and professional
clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending such
securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of such securities (by either adopting or refining the
manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
v

Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be
made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail
investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of:
(i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II); or (ii) a customer within the
meaning of the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the securities or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the
PRIIPs Regulation.
The United Kingdom
This Offering Memorandum is for distribution only to persons who (i) are outside the United
Kingdom or (ii) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within
Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as
amended the "Financial Promotion Order")); (iii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d)
("high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, etc.") of the Financial Promotion
Order; or (iv) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity
(within the meaning of section 21 of the FSMA) in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes
may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons
together being referred to as "relevant persons"). This Offering Memorandum is directed only at
relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons.
Any investment or investment activity to which this Offering Memorandum relates is available
only to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons.

circumstances which are exempted from the rules on public offerings pursuant to Article 100 of
the Italian Financial Act and the implementing CONSOB regulations, including the Issuer
Regulation.

instruments in the Republic of Italy in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Italian
