Hello Dezeen mailing list, the year has started with a bang - our Dezeentalks at imm cologne last month were a great success and we'll be publishing the movies soon. See all our stories from Cologne here.

Brad has just got back from Object Rotterdam and Rose is at Stockholm Furniture Fair this week. Look out for their reports over the coming days.

For jobseekers, our Dezeenjobs recruitment site has more jobs than ever before including two positions with Dezeen (below right) and the comments on Dezeen seem more vibrant than ever (see below). And don't forget to check the latest competitions (bottom right).

Our most hotly debated story this issue is these figurines by artist Jessica Lichtenstein. Are they art, porn or worthless trash? Are they copies of Murakami? Should we even have published them? Read the story and comments »

This mini floating house is one of the crazier projects from our coverage of the Shenzhen/Hong Kong biennale . Look out for the lovely floating garden in the second image. Read the story and comments »

More eastern craziness. This is a giant travelling human-shaped charity herb garden. Really it is. Read the story and comments »

The Japanese do serene, too. This is a house for a priest next to a Buddhist temple. Although a reader called John thinks it looks far too comfortable for a monk: "What happened to the monks who make their own sandals from straw and follow the path of the Buddha, walking even in snow?" Read the story and comments »

The iPad has underwhelmed Dezeen readers. Other monikers they've coined include "Craptop" and "iFlop". Read the story and comments »

This house features telescopic rooms that rise up so you can enjoy the view. There's some proper weird stuff in this issue isn't there?! Read the story and comments »

A lot of debate about this sofa, inspired by the improvised bedding of homeless people. Some readers love it, some think it's demeaning and others think it's derivative - but there are some very funny comments too. Read the story and comments »

Amazing hand-made clothes by Lamija Suljevic. Read the story and comments »

We like Zed's comment on Burj Khalifa, but there are tons of other good ones too. Read the story and comments »

Arik Levy gets a lot of stick from readers for this series of cabinets called Dick, Pussy and Ass. And Verweij is giving us stick for publishing it. Read the story and comments »

... but in fact it's a canoe shed. Read the story and comments »

This is also a canoe store. Jed doesn't get it. Read the story and comments »

Bye for now!

 

Love Marcus, Rupinder, Rose and Brad, plus many thanks to our intern Chris.
