At Sway Living, we’re celebrating the return of the suburban savage….Tiki calls!
Our new range of outdoor cushions features the Tropical icon, and everyones fav kitsch idol, TIKI.
After humble beginnings in 1930s America, Tiki style soon became popular after WW2.
During the 50s, Tiki lounge bars combined stylistic Hawaiian themes with a healthy dose of fruity-rum cocktails and kitsch decor to create the illusion of a tropical paradise. The emphasis was on fun and escapism – enter a Tiki Bar such as Don The Beachcombers or Trader Vic’s and you were instantly transported to an exotic island getaway.
