Timeless Danish lighting designs featured at the Florida hotel tell a story of history, creativity

Southern, Florida charm meets Scandinavian minimalism in Hotel Eleo's interior spaces. Inspired by a simple yet functional lifestyle and hospitality, each of the guest rooms in this hotel feature an array of timeless design pieces that give its guests a sense of inherent satisfaction of having just enough when considering aesthetic sustenance, human connection and modern needs as well.

Notable in every room, is the selection of lights. Inspired by the Scandinavian concept of Hygge, Hotel Eleo features lamps by the Danish lighting manufacturer, Louis Poulsen , to fit every room with timeless Danish lighting designs. The iconic PH 5 Mini , hangs over a circular table shedding light to where it's needed for reading or dining while, at the same time, creating a soft ambiance of soft, indirect illumination in the room. The seating area of the rooms are adorned by AJ table lamps , designed by world renowned Danish architect, Arne Jacobsen, who originally designed the lamps for the famous SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, in 1957. Complementing the geometric forms of the lights and the minimalistic setting of the rooms, the Yuh floor and wall lamps are placed on the sides of the beds due to their personalized functionalism where the form of the lamp shade is determined geometrically by the movement that the lamp shade performs on the stem, according to the personal needs of each guest occupying the room.
