Who we are
FIRST WAVE TIKI is the creative collaboration of husband-and-wife duo William La Gone Jr. (@kiltkidscollectibles) and Kelly Strodl (@kelly4niadreamin). Combining William's passion for vintage tiki bars with Kelly's talent for transforming discarded homewares into fresh, original art, they’ve created a unique experience that both celebrates the past and imagines future possibilities.
Whether meeting them at an event or perusing this site, you’ll discover they have curated a selection of treasures (or #antikis), including mugs from long-closed tiki bars, ceramics repurposed into plant propagations, collectible prints by renowned artists, antique rattan furniture, tapa barkcloth, Japanese glass floats, as well as many hand constructed lamps, carvings or custom painted art.
