BigBro, how would you characterize this one? (from the online brochure):

Well, at least the name seems themed, and the A-frame is more pitched and the beam is heavily stylized, but it actually points to the very cross-pollination I mentioned above: The ASIAN origins of the A-frame concept. If it doesn't have Lava rock, Tiki sculpting or torches, I would call it mid-century modern EXOTICA.

Sven: I'm about to update the website. Are you pretty set on this term ("mid-century modern exotica")?

Also, any other editorial suggestions you can make concerning the website?

Thanks for your input!
