When someone comes into FI and complains,"It's too dark in here!" I really want tell them they're an idiot. Tiki, to me, is about the natural elements: wood, water, earth, fire. When I see plastic, unnatural items, especially when they're dayglo, I pity the person who thought, Hey, this it cool!" and made it; even more so, I pity the person who thought, Hey, this it cool!" and bought it. That is definitely a snobbish reaction, but I don't want to be snobbish. It does no good in the end. So what a better way to frame that experience?
