I ask because I picked up a copy of Atomic Ranch magazine today, and was surprised by the total lack of Poly Pop items in both the featured houses and ads in the magazine. In addition, there are a couple of mildly snotty remarks about tiki in the articles. I guess I'm naive - I thought anyone interested in Mid Century design would have some Poly Pop amongst the Eames furniture and bubble lamps. Is Poly Pop all or nothing? Is the only choice for most people a wall of Tiki mugs and Witco or a sparse ash shelving with a couple of Danish vases?
