Co-Principal BENJAMIN STELLY carries his multidisciplinary instinct for compelling composition into the creation of spaces. Merging an active photography practice with a decade-long career in fashion and an educational background in architectural design, Benjamin’s perspective reflects an inherently deep-rooted cultural acuity. Informed by strategies both emotional and intellectual, he applies a perceptive understanding to the manipulation of space, manifesting each client’s inclinations, desires and comforts. Benjamin is a native of Austin, Texas and a voracious world traveler.
Stelly Selway is an INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO practice that brings to life the global sensibilities of Los Angeles and London, New York and Austin. The studio works with each client to articulate their individual personalities, histories and stories through their spaces. A global network of relationships with vendors and makers enables them to visualize custom design strategies, while an understanding of material and architectural behaviors grants them unique insight into crafting BOLD, BALANCED and BEAUTIFUL interiors.
Two non-linear creative paths led co-principals BENJAMIN STELLY and TANYA SELWAY to a serendipitous partnership in interior design. Tanya’s background in fine art and visual merchandising pairs with Benjamin’s training and experience in fashion and as a photographer, informing their kaleidoscope of references and ideas, and their approach to tactical design solutions. Stelly Selway merges playful yet classical interior design with meaningful contemporary curations, weaving worldliness into the personal.
