This double paged spread appeared in the May 2009 UK Magazine Elle Decoration. I wonder what the HiFi systen looks like?

Not sure, but it would not be impossible that the playback system is the one in #2 in the first photo. Another photo of that 'music system' is here.
Agree not probable for the Brionvega (though I think it is super cool). I would hope he uses a different system. I don't actually see the system in the photos (though there are some flat things on top of the shelf in the second photo). I don't see any speakers either, but given the sofa placement, they could be behind the photog.

As for the product placement, the place looks newly done. And it looks like the resident had professional help in the design aspect (very few regular joes will come up with a shelf like that on their own), so I expect the sofas may be resident. They may be big bucks, but so was the place. People who afford that kind of place are old enough to have collected a significant amount of what I call 'the detritus of life', and it looks like very little of it made the cut to the new place. I have a few friends who have had their similar kinds of places in AD and other rags (but only when really well-designed or 'decorated', and usually when 'new') and they don't so much bring in furniture as take stuff out of the photo, and REALLY choose their angles well. Personally, I love the Bimbi chair, and the long shelf. And think the writer's comment about the vinyl is great.
