Corrections

• In "Queer Eye for Kips Bay" (July, page 112), $350,000 was the value for the entire room, not just the Waterworks fixtures.

• The KnollTextiles fabric featured in "Market" (August, page 77) is Grand.

• The Mathieu Lustrerie lamp shown in "Lighting" (August, page 109) is a custom version of Number 48 Le Visiteur Inattendu.
