WHEN was that? From my research, the term "Tiki" style was not commonly used in the 50s & 60s, sometimes maybe "KON-Tiki" style, mostly "Polynesian","Hawaiian" and so on. Furthermore, it was my belief that Danish Modern actually contributed to the downfall of Tiki. Now ONE pair of Grandparents being confused is possible, but two? Did they shop at the same furniture store, and the salesman told them that this was the NEW Tiki? Was it because of Thor Heyerdahl? You know Danes, Norwegians, pretty much the same...
