Hello Dezeen mailing list!

Since the last issue of Dezeenmail we've been to imm cologne (see all our coverage here) and next week we're off to Stockholm Furniture Fair . We'll be adding stories about the fair here and you can also keep up to date via Facebook and Twitter in the meantime.  

Over on Dezeen Watch Store we've added two new designs by Hong Kong watch brand Ziiiro, called Gravity and Mercury (scroll on for more details).

Meanwhile we've got a bumper issue of Dezeenmail for you, packed with our pick of the best stories and comments from Dezeen, plus competitions and loads of new jobs in the right hand column as usual.
