Our set of Eames DCM chairs are back where they belong, in the powder room and master bathroom. They were produced by Evans (pre-Herman Miller) and purchased by the Liljestrands in the late 50s. One of the chairs was in storage and had an extraordinary amount of damage – rust and delamination. A huge mahalo to John Reyno @hawaii_modern for working his magic and restoring the chairs!

So incredibly refreshing to see a residence unmolested by unsympathetic ownership. The personal touches, stories and tales from the last 67 years provide an amazing tapestry from which we can appreciate this architectural masterpiece. May the preservation of this house inspire not only its’ preservation but also that of other modernist examples in Hawai`i. Thank you.
The Liljestrand House is listed on the Hawai‘i State and the United States National Register of Historic Places.
