…filled with books and art and rows and rows of little brown bottles and large tin cans of mysterious chemicals and sciency things.

sissel tolaas and her fab lab/apartment, photos by todd selby.

i’m a big fan of todd selby’s portrait photographs and often check out his photo project at theselby.com. the apartments are always interesting to begin with; quirky, stylish homes reflect the personality of the creative dweller, or at least, todd selby makes them look that way. every home he shoots has flair and a little touch of weirdness, in the very best kind of way. this one is sissel tolaas’s place. sissel is part artist, part scent theorist, part designer living in berlin. i like the neat, pseudo messy rows of singular objects set up throughout her apartment. more photos of her home and research lair here.
