Liljestrand House

Perfect little mushrooms on this gloomy between storms day. On a brighter note, all of the rain this week has demonstrated that our recent flood control measures are successful! #liljestrandhouse #liljestrandfoundation #ossipoff #vladimirossipoff #midcenturymodern #hawaiianmodern #tropicalmodern #savingplaces

A glimpse of the master bedroom with all of the hidden cabinetry on display. The Liljestrands wanted a place for everything and Ossipoff was happy to oblige.

Happy Windsday as Winnie the Pooh would say! Spring, where are you? #liljestrandhouse #liljestrandfoundation #ossipoff #vladimirossipoff #midcenturymodern #hawaiianmodern #tropicalmodern #savingplaces

It’s a damp and blustery day up here! Nonetheless it’s Aloha Friday! #liljestrandhouse #liljestrandfoundation #ossipoff #vladimirossipoff #midcenturymodern #hawaiianmodern #tropicalmodern #savingplaces

Tuesday shadows on the lanai. #liljestrandhouse #liljestrandfoundation #vladimirossipoff #ossipoff #hawaiianmodern #tropicalmodern #midcenturymodern #savingplaces

Master bedroom circa mid 1950s. Ossipoff, accompanied by a glass of scotch, spent an afternoon locked in the room, carefully arranging the Chinese bronze pieces on the shelves. The shelves were taken down in the late 70s/early 80s to make way for the Jean Charlot painting that currently hangs there. Note the Albini chairs on the lanai and the Vladimir Kagan contour chair and ottoman in the corner. Sadly, we don’t know what became of any of the chairs, though we still have the ottoman! #liljestrandhouse #liljestrandfoundation #vladimirossipoff #ossipoff #hawaiianmodern #midcenturymodern #vladimirkagan #francoalbini
