A Tropical Twist on Our Cylinders

We love seeing the creative ways our customers use our products, and a recent customer submission turned up the heat—literally! Azar’s clear acrylic cylinders were transformed into custom tiki lamps, bringing some serious island vibes. While cylindrical tiki lamps aren't rooted in traditional tiki culture, they do draw inspiration from the broader history of tiki décor, which became popular in mid-20th century America. Tiki culture itself was a Western romanticized take on the art, architecture, and mythology of Polynesia, blending elements of island life into a fun and festive aesthetic.

Tiki lamps, typically made from bamboo or wood, were part of this movement, adding ambiance to outdoor spaces. The cylindrical shape of modern tiki lamps, like the ones this customer created, puts a contemporary twist on that vintage aesthetic, with a sleek, minimalist design replacing the rustic, carved look of traditional tiki lighting. The cylindrical form likely emerged as a modern solution to suit more versatile and durable materials, like acrylic, making them perfect for today's outdoor and indoor settings.

This artisan selected Azar’s 8”W x 8”H Clear Acrylic Cylinder Display (SKU: 556808) to craft stunning lanterns. These multipurpose acrylic cylinders can be used as bins, risers, covers (or lanterns!), making the display possibilities endless. The clear, professional look is perfect for showcasing high-end products, allowing the contents to take center stage without distraction. Their sleek design not only elevates the aesthetic of any space but also provides durability and versatility, making them an ideal choice for both decorative and functional applications. Whether used for events, retail displays, crafts, or home décor, these acrylic cylinders bring a modern touch that enhances any environment.
