Which functionality from designer do you need?
embedding the whole designer in another application makes little sense - just start it with QProcess.
But you can use various functionalities in your own application.
Explain more what you are after.

I think I follow your solution, but ....
i needed to customizing QtDesigner inhibiting widget from the list "widget box" type:
-View-Item (model-based)
-Widget-item

any ideas?

Well, if you want designer as designer, but modified, then you have to modify designer.
You can the code - so you will have to dive in and change what you need in the designer code it self.

Qt Designer is open source so you can embed as much or as little as you want in your own code, just ensure you abide by the license and publish your modified source code some where.

I'm trying to create a fake customplugin to access QtDesigner istance.
I'm editing "taskmenuextension" project to redefine:

void TicTacToePlugin::initialize(QDesignerFormEditorInterface *formEditor)

void TicTacToePlugin::initialize(QDesignerFormEditorInterface *formEditor)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

QDesignerFormEditorInterface is a interface to access at WidgetBox(QDesignerWidgetBoxInterface)

void TicTacToePlugin::initialize(QDesignerFormEditorInterface *formEditor)
{
    QDesignerWidgetBoxInterface *widgetBox = 0;
    widgetBox = formEditor->widgetBox();
    if (widgetBox) {
      qDebug()<<"Ok widgetBox";
    } else {
      qDebug()<<"NO widgetBox";
    }
}

void TicTacToePlugin::initialize(QDesignerFormEditorInterface *formEditor)
{
    QDesignerWidgetBoxInterface *widgetBox = 0;
    widgetBox = formEditor->widgetBox();
    if (widgetBox) {
      qDebug()<<"Ok widgetBox";
    } else {
      qDebug()<<"NO widgetBox";
    }
}

I followed these steps:
- i have compiled "taskmenuextension" project (generating libtaskmenuextension.so)
- copy libtaskmenuextension.so in QtDesigner pluginDir
- in command line type
emmanuelgranatello@isi-82:~$ designer
NO widgetBox

The widgetBox is equal to NULL because the main window (and consequently the WidgetBox) is instantiated after loading the plugin

Anyone knows how to use QDesignerWidgetBoxInterface?

Added after 52 minutes:

I found (in sourcecode) the xml file that populates the Widgetbox's qtdesignr.

the folder is:
Qt_sourcecode_4.7.1/tools/designer/src/components/widgetbox
xml file:
widgetbox.xml

This file is included as a resource(.qrc) in the project.
