Hello Dezeen readers!

We've launched a new initiative to celebrate the incredible diversity of design talent in the east London borough of Hackney, which is one of the five host boroughs for the London 2012 Olympic Games as well as being home to Dezeen’s offices.

Every day we're showcasing a different design icon from the area - check them out here and read more details here

Meanwhile this issue of Dezeen Mail is packed with the latest stories and discussions from Dezeen, including a plan to cover Milan in polychrome bird-poo, a library-cum-teahouse in Shanghai and a Starbucks coffee shop inside a former bank vault in Amsterdam. 

Check the right hand column for all the latest jobs, competitions and news from Dezeen Wire, and follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest for regular updates.
