Tres Tiki Moderne, love the floor patterns. In Europe they used that kind of second floor with undulating edges in modern cafes a lot in the 50s, like in Italian ice cream parlors. And mosaic tile work and planters. And lots of great shapes and concepts. Check out this ceiling/clock: And cool neon: I could do a whole book on 50s Italian ice cream parlor design in Germany. Cologne still has a bunch. My favorite place to eat pizza there: http://www.qype.co.uk/place/22080-Pizzeria-San-Remo-Koeln-Altstadt-Nord Ooooops! I apologize, got a little carried away there :D Back to the phantastic Imperial House!: What great contrast of primitive and modern. Reminds me of your house, Duke! The contrast of the 50s socialites with those gnarly Tikis is still the most dazzling, though. Few images sum it all up so well.
