The Maupin-Tonchi Residence, a Selldorf Architects interiors project, was featured in Spanish Architectural Digest’s April ‘09 issue. The text was written by Christina Giminez. The interiors were photographed by Manolo Yllera in zen-like silence. He used a digital camera and took long exposures, during which everyone stood still and held their breath. Can you tell that the rooms are illuminated only by natural light from the windows? No additional strobes or floodlights were brought in. Beautiful.

A new spread on this apartment has just come out in the June ‘09 issue of German Architectural Digest! The text was written by Margit J. Mayer. And the apartment was photographed by Todd Selby to the beat of Daft Punk from his assistant’s ipod.

BTW, Todd Selby has a very addictive blog of portraits and interiors, which he describes (on the blog) as “interesting people in their creative spaces”. I love to see what people collect, and to see people in their homes among all the clutter and trappings of daily life. www.theselby.com
