Building on themes that Weber developed for the current DEDON advertising campaign, Coming Home is an exploration into the meaning of home and the feelings we hold for it. Personal, poetic and eclectic, the book weaves together exclusive imagery by Bruce Weber with artwork and illustrations specially commissioned by the photographer. Watch the Dedon movie in large format <a href="http://www.dedon.de/uploads/media/webspecial_bruce_weber/popup.html" target="_blank">here,</a> or on YouTube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8fE2pHIWy0&feature=related" target="_blank">here</a>.  The music and imagery are spectacular.  The movie starts with a quote from the movie Out of Africa - the words of Denys Finch Hatton, played by Robert Redford: “I don’t want to live someone else’s idea of how to live.” <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising " border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxcCJ6DoPIKcQxxT3THQ0mtn32ccrJ2ATChoOUcTMU9lYpdTgITQOXNSfcxM1J3CTRShsvYJutu0VLqpwK9bGRIe7RSf_dfka7kPFW_-sOrnQKT66GfLZKpgeBCdNzvXKRFUBhmlymj0Xy/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising " width="500" /></a>  DEDON “<a href="http://www.dedon.de/en/blogazine/posts/dedon-campaigns/dedon-launches-coming-home.html" target="_blank">COMING HOME</a>”, A LIMITED-EDITION BOOK BY BRUCE WEBER <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising " border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE-yDOgurng1Uq_E2rvZUSpKdqN0rB29LriO9_qMQwpk2BCq5ZRiEte9tedPAs5sHuRvYJm5lbqAbQQNOLKf3xdc9AJtdF77VSC8OrNMDmT8wTYDAFFKSoVttUZUZi8lACAqN8z9aKAg91/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising " width="500" /></a> DEDON “<a href="http://www.dedon.de/en/blogazine/posts/dedon-campaigns/dedon-launches-coming-home.html" target="_blank">COMING HOME</a>”, A LIMITED-EDITION BOOK BY BRUCE WEBER <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising" border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh64Hi1y_E-KpkmroNBQLKZRli4YCIKXf1sb46bpntClSFbBu8P3Ux9ejdSVopbTGfZWPtWKbP2OJbpLsfrQy03-2YFnbhoCNfytUZnzQZkCuiXAQ_IMfrxohUtAnJvMZ9aJz2FyIlEj08H/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising" width="500" /></a> DEDON “<a href="http://www.dedon.de/en/blogazine/posts/dedon-campaigns/dedon-launches-coming-home.html" target="_blank">COMING HOME</a>”, A LIMITED-EDITION BOOK BY BRUCE WEBER <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising" border="0" height="529" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu4-bXQgPbQrDtEAaUO7ejkpQFWTEQ-L9HZlFtsg4dd-b_g4zH7xfzFQV36aYxLypzsDGFpDpyByws86JF1-Pa6bDCCL0ySMhxXaZXjn2a_a_DyBvwZKVf1Oef0hDJG27UuwF-dg9lFMDk/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising" width="500" /></a>  DEDON “<a href="http://www.dedon.de/en/blogazine/posts/dedon-campaigns/dedon-launches-coming-home.html" target="_blank">COMING HOME</a>”, A LIMITED-EDITION BOOK BY BRUCE WEBER A multilevel treehouse, a cast and crew of 60 people with legendary fashion photographer Bruce Weber keeping it all together. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising" border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsyJUPZYvTW7TSNss_-5oA6eaf83mbui78zsMtq_Tkce3cEmCpC5fqbCv_1z7vSOXXycKoyKfnD76XbGm4uk9e3Bc-wUc15Z9qFs0bx9BwjwKdUJBjJtU1osgj9wEgJKswDP6xaeX-JlKx/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Dedon Lifestyle Advertising" width="500" /></a> DEDON “<a href="http://www.dedon.de/en/blogazine/posts/dedon-campaigns/dedon-launches-coming-home.html" target="_blank">COMING HOME</a>”, A LIMITED-EDITION BOOK BY BRUCE WEBER When I first saw the Dedon ad campaign, by Bruce Webber I was mesmerized by it.  Some people I have talked to just don’t get it.  After all Bruce Webber was the photographer for the controversial ad campaign for Calvin Klein in the 90’s, and Webber also photographed a shirtless Chris Isaak in bed for a fashion spread in Rolling Stone.  Dedon says about Coming Home “…….it is an exploration into the meaning of home and the feelings we hold for it.” I say that ‘Furniture IS Lifestyle’ and has as much of a message to say about how we live as Fashion does! What do you think about ‘Lifestyle Advertising?’  Leave your comment <a href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6842244027880136050&postID=3123797238739519687&isPopup=true" target="_blank">here</a>.  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUjMNOndNFLJQ9yGd4OuXo3MZspaPSxy0RgIQfVznNu4k7NyG0HuK4SNEDc7a9oJB_I30xYy46Vl-u3YVpUFzZYEp-7dH8FFp6DP3Lha75VcICdp8l3b6hFfN-2MAr0DfyWAy1iA09sBb/s1600-h/PGDedon1ArticleADSpain%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="PG Dedon 1 Article AD Spain" border="0" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdgYNL27GMW3qNETdQRruhC7j8I3CeQhvWIZ4XRruC_bEvgd5y_-OjQ6DGocc4rgIA31dRh2sw71qYpWkvAo6gnFObFSHg6Z76lvXB4fZGezH66j1CzVY6OR3Q29EL7d6o9UOLNGZUQ020/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="PG Dedon 1 Article AD Spain" width="250" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivVGim-ffqBf80FnQ1UaMc3yJiC2A-P7E_81YYGxylW4nkjhrh_ualkyrfgP32hhgBa2e2wzx28XJsbwjguPRI4RracwGC4qk_hyphenhyphenSNGQWOFkp8GDtJWgMIX0ozefW3U9bVmzusKUmgs5Hw/s1600-h/PGDedon2ArticleADSpain%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="PG Dedon 2 Article AD Spain" border="0" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEZ5PhdNeb6-ymxBzXZlGO0XHlr_7qkp4puPJbwwXApCEYTdLn2jXBSop11eKio5joIBYEV9SQbRRRMbI8PPzflnpMfbbaU43HTPMYS8Gn6ejoeRDN-o7j7PvtB9QMbhXGwkMFw6MLl-zi/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="PG Dedon 2 Article AD Spain" width="250" /></a>  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWxRh91heNjPhwHGl_i-kuent5GH5roWHCaXkkKLwLcwylasEUP9M2CHhgBJDP-InOnjO-dWaEuTs0X1kPkXFNC8WXDRRSC2tYcXtXSYesZXCQ_MiwhxhIXmCsZWwkqnwLYnSlR1woVvZx/s1600-h/PGDedon4ArticleADSpain%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="PG Dedon 4 Article AD Spain" border="0" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM7-qXIZ56j8DQBgcLwZic5alL1XJRkejm79FiD_ebCXYipDLteDhvbf4u4mBmnyXjGJfQaA4gmozX2ee4Is1H6pUa1aYjPRW5VD6Pg7HGslfSOXlFYAV5fycP2pJMk0pOD_Yr4YTGbKL5/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="PG Dedon 4 Article AD Spain" width="250" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4kdus-IkQX777mmhTtd2Nx5Nj3QIJfbP0T89GUGo-6NujqHV2XigyAEhhab63TCCPY2YO8xclkXJeN9cB0SsHBNAbjzE77pKdft91yPGJCWSuwv-5cmonolzDEEyV5VeCnuD2Sri-f456/s1600-h/PGDedon3ArticleADSpain%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="PG Dedon 3 Article AD Spain" border="0" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcO4ObJ0VeIoXTU9uGqOwnMuzK8HyHWK6Wd16kFZJpdbUPGLxwY-uTuLJySsAnVX6nOoxecjZ_x4M49HB17PAKRnQM2NIaIbe7euf0ZRF0VB2u1dK59SMFR9c__CiMOmMFjtznGBiVcOKE/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="PG Dedon 3 Article AD Spain" width="250" /></a> DEDON “<a href="http://www.dedon.de/en/blogazine/posts/dedon-campaigns/dedon-launches-coming-home.html" target="_blank">COMING HOME</a>”, A LIMITED-EDITION BOOK BY BRUCE WEBER Architectural Digest Spain - May 2010 Postscript:  These are scans from a Spanish magazine that my friend and fellow blogger <a href="http://meadedesigngroup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Ivan Meade</a> sent to me after I published this article. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/">PATRICIA GRAY INC</a> is an award winning interior design firm writing about lifestyle and WHAT'S HOT in the world of interior design, architecture, art and travel. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/">2011 © Patricia Gray | Interior Design Blog™</a>
