Corrections

• The image that opened "Design 2003" (December, page 77) was Menta, a gelatin silver print by Mona Kuhn. She is represented by the Scott Nichols Gallery, San Francisco.

• Dean Larkin Design was the architect for the Tufenkian Carpets showroom in "Flooring" (February, page 105). In the same story, the Elizabeth Eakins image showed the Birdseye pattern from the Drugget collection.

• The International Contemporary Furniture Fair, featured in "Market" (April, page 93), ran May 15 to 18.
