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.
BOLD. BALANCED. BEAUTIFUL.

Her design vantage point is inspired by California sunshine; the rich color palettes of her transatlantic European, Middle Eastern, and African stomping grounds; vast global histories, and the precise subtleties of emotional relationship with her surroundings.

Stelly Selway champions the richness of diverse perspectives, believing that inclusive teams spark creativity and fuel success. Our multi-disciplinary team of architects, designers, craftspeople and builders is driven by a passion for crafting modern, inspiring spaces that blend innovation with meticulous attention to detail. We thrive on collaboration, welcoming the varied experiences and insights that elevate every project and are happy to work with any teams already in place, or help you find the best team to build your dream space.
We create spaces that articulate personality and build relationships based on transparent communication. We work intimately with our clients and collaborators, and understand the importance of clear communication, budget management, and detail orientation to deliver spaces you will love forever. Our network of makers, designers, builders, and vendors across the globe support an inherently mixed-media sensibility that is reflected in every Stelly Selway project. Along with custom designed furnishing solutions, we source a mix of trade-only, vintage, bespoke and retail pieces, working with makers and doers who think big, and produce with social and ecological sustainability in mind.
To allow space for collaboration and creativity, and to assist in managing the expectations of deliverables throughout a project, we follow a ten-step design process, starting with the Discovery Call. If interested in collaborating on a project together, please apply within and we will get in touch to set up a time to discuss together.
