The pineapple has long been a symbol of hospitality, dating back to colonial America, where it was often displayed to welcome guests. In the 18th and 19th centuries, pineapples were a rare and exotic fruit, signifying wealth and warmth. The pineapple motif grew in popularity within home decor, especially in tropical and coastal themes. It has since evolved into a timeless element, often seen in furniture, tableware, and decor accents like bookends. The fruit’s welcoming symbolism paired with its exotic charm makes it a popular choice for those looking to bring a bit of the tropics into their home. In particular, during the mid-20th century, when tiki culture and tropical aesthetics were booming, pineapple decor became an essential part of island-inspired interiors.
