Tiki, according to Polynesian myth, was the first man and also the name given to the various incarnations of Polynesian Gods. Modern tiki came around in the 40’s when American GI’s returning from the 2nd World War in the Pacific region brought back various exotic items and art from their travels. Soon the likes of Don the Beachcomber and Victor “Trader Vic” Bergeron started opening bars and restaurants in this exotic style which provided a tropical getaway from post war life. The scene grew and grew with more bars, restaurants and architects using the style to satisfy the publics craving for the exotic, and thus tiki style was born. It is now recognisable worldwide. Tiki has, through out the years, stuck to its original intensions as well as becoming an icon of modern style. What better way to brighten up your life than creating your own tropical paradise at home.
