Cult-Style
Summer, sun, beach, sea and a touch of culture - that's not only in Hawaii ...
Tiki is pop culture! From cocktail cups - also known as " tiki mugs" - to sculptures, body jewelery and home accessories, to bars that are fully equipped with a tiki look - here's everything.
Here WUNDERWEIB explains the living trend Tiki.
In the original sense, the sculptures of the Tiki style represent god figures. More than 1, 000 years ago, the first inhabitants of Polynesia came to Hawaii and brought these figures and traditions with them. That's why today the tiki style is associated with the Hawaiian look.
Since the 1990s, this South Seas culture has found its way into our Western culture again - the accessories are becoming increasingly popular.
It is also interesting that in New Zealand and Polynesian mythology Tiki was supposed to be the first human in one of the innumerable versions. Even today in New Zealand small Tiki figures are to be worn to protect against infertility.
Let yourself be inspired by our Tiki style living tips and get the Hawaiian feeling home.
Have fun dreaming about the South Seas ...
