I definitely consider PNG artifacts TIKI... Many of our fine old and new Polynesian/Tiki establishments have many PNG elements as part of their decor. Oceanic Arts keeps well stocked with PNG influenced work. Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room shows plenty of PNG influence. The the cantilever A frame style that defines Polynesian Pop architecture is based on PNG design. And I do agree with Swanky that I prefer authentic Pacific Island pieces decorating my lounge, though I do love all of our contemporary carvers works. |
