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/AVvXsEh1SGJWWq8Tjih4mscSNVWy8GolDmB2sYKwHZE5FDTRu4OXkHG7aqfSkcVqP8hVe2Kx9UaI5qYboRdQF3lwthh3HkoH7IXzb-mlwUsU4E62tIxVqFr0rYpIp7fB6ivFlT1T6Gol90Phjfuc/?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/AVvXsEhvZZTtExyZo5T9iGQ-fL1OoYZ0qLPjhvwKgVGmEfC7sVqDMmuM4Mx_t5Ykmu54ZI-Q-gVARh3AqmaS4cLH0N3o4jJ_nnmoq-sIYXdTvgcA-W9OOFFJtH2BV_LYwGw4D0DVeEuC5HxZ-Ycb/?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/AVvXsEjrmtBUO3YPGhozi8bGYNZWUbfqBBH0TnaeJ6SGaoN-WRz-c0730MeSGz2NZKPuQ9IqLQ8q94vMacidBHCw18jX4EXm6CO_gF25DTqoHKvGQNXZ64zL6vgJhsWk97ahgcc8_HVgAMCYYvMf/?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/AVvXsEiEBBPoPWXlzKZiY1OmKzxRCY24NOkpXd3Zl53nhDbAvu4d7WoD5KPkNBzwOjx7_H_GeIdq_RLKfSCZ_vyBTFV_Y5p0yva5vBzNoj0LmlBsoIWhDJo-Npw9HBy-1J4eMKqX-xSfSs8PcFwd/?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/AVvXsEjUBssDzuF1W_nsDVigtaYTHwsuODq7JdsIrX_NVvNErkzRw7p8gtShdh_CJDttFmJEy885t0z7XCffEgnwOjwOeIkjCso9fz57k3jxVUAgNRvBbeo9_0A1FVfFFtrJfYyfPeG6FDLqpYhu/?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!

I am in the process of designing an outdoor patio for clients. It is a challenging project as well as being very exacting, with a lot of technical details to take into consideration (gas lines, water lines, electrical panel load limits, permit approvals, etc), before I can even start on the ‘pretty stuff.’ This outdoor patio is on the roof of a penthouse, with a spectacular view of the ocean, mountains, and city of Vancouver. It is a breathtaking 130 feet in length, and is probably larger than most people’s back yards.  Every once in awhile I come across a new and innovatively designed product that causes me to stop and take notice, and with a sigh of relief, that I have found an esthetically pleasing alternative to a category of product design that generally leaves my visual sensibilities assaulted. Finally an outdoor grill (notice that it is not referred to as a BBQ - ‘Grill’ is the operative new terminology), that shakes up tradition, and is beautiful to look at. “A campfire for modernists,” “a social magnet with a great sense of style.” Attaching a label to this <a href="http://fuegoliving.com/products" target="_blank">Fuego</a> outdoor living grill is trickier than throwing a salmon – wild, rubbed with herbs and spices – on an open flame. As well as <a href="http://fuegoliving.com/about" target="_blank">Fuego</a> being a top rated grill, it has a modernist design aesthetic with sleek-lined minimalism. One that I wouldn’t mind gracing my clients’ patio. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe5guIucK59p53-vUPeBv-myqbJYvlC36gn73c3WYvSTQSmqXnNxKNZ_sUN9AeEYE0ZDXljNdg5O9MgaouLs_un-s6O-jYC-wq6UuAJ4kA6hyU8JRVC5q3n8ECAR43xdcgUvKF2TodsXwl/s1600-h/image7%5B1%5D.png"><img alt="Fuego Outdoor Living Grill" border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRO8L3sn6pAnsS6mv8j18uIZm-isez1f9HTpzMdI2VAyDNCi8auOWEvHszF0aUeevFytbEuuJKybG796FKXE6r6x_8pAN9asCCEYMW0A7xJcI9-UyU6FOyASPcBR1D0GDTlWD4dBhsQSJN/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Fuego Outdoor Living Grill" width="500" /></a>  <a href="http://fuegoliving.com/files/files/file/Fuego_Catalog_06-12.pdf" target="_blank">Fuego Catalogue</a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaufiNIXwzuWm6QYpwtAH-gGnzmuSYSACqza8Mm9yPnGrFWxP5ldUpbXZprHLezOHe3sp2PW355nt0X65ZPwyGoDQtOCAHtVlFpU25VFPrqaXkhHctHtCJNZ3SBVa_ENfBqOwZVpE-zr2m/s1600-h/image4%5B1%5D.png"><img alt="Fuego Outdoor Living Grill" border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGep28dWnro91R8bCeOcXTAj-9-hQbmvuUXi3pYyUWocXqqNZYPKEvh2DYDU_5Jylf92vOaH9-dtbZGULaQb9U7NVheW2omTr4_lbBnGWI7IOrqmh0ZSa5n_4AA-xSngWcJG17kASStBHc/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Fuego Outdoor Living Grill" width="500" /></a>  <a href="http://fuegoliving.com/products/fuego01" target="_blank">Fuego Grill 01</a> What do you think?  Would you like to have this Fuego grill gracing your patio?
