Heaven & Hell with Creative-Cables in the 25hours Florence Hotel

Every detail of the 25hours in Piazza San Paolino was meticulously chosen to create a unique experience inspired by the timeless works of Dante Alighieri, with a modern touch brought by our Creative-Tubes.

Paola Navone and the Otto Studio team’s boundless creativity were essential to the project which turned the stately “Monte de’ Pegni” - an historical Loans Company for the Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze (Florence Savings Bank) - in a series of remarkable settings based on the Divine Comedy. According to Chris Hoffman, founder of the 25hours hotels, what makes this chain so impressive is the selection of different themes for each new hotel. So when the time had come to open a hotel in Florence, it seemed only natural for the theme to express the poetic dichotomy between Heaven and Hell portrayed by Dante. The project covered over 170 rooms and common areas, for a surface area of 10.750 metres. Creative-Cables helped embellish two colourful, Hell-themed common areas.

Another great use of our Creative-Tubes can be found in the waiting area near the lifts… look up to find an impressive exposed installation! We decided to ditch the usual plastic conduits and the stiff metal tubes in favour of striking red Creative-Tubes patterns, to create a fun contrast with the cement ceiling, the metal connectors and porcelain-effect light bulbs.
