Corrections

• For the office of MR Architecture + Decor, featured in "All in a Day's Work" (September, page 266), Soraya fabricated the conference table's base and the blackened-steel shelving throughout.

• An incorrect photograph appeared in "Brushes With Greatness" (October, page 191), which presented finalists for the Gold Key Awards for Excellence in Hospitality Design. In the bar/lounge cate gory, the Jeffrey Beers International project shown was not Sea Glass lounge, the winner, but Mosaic restaurant next door. The correct Sea Glass shot appears below.

• In "Seating" (Market Tabloid, page 75), the Web site for Ligne Roset should have read ligne-roset-usa.com.

• In "Fabric" (Market Tabloid, page 103), the name of the company producing Carapace, Spiro, and Lava should have been printed as P/Kaufmann Contract. The phone number is 212-292-2200.
