Giuseppe Tortato
Italy
Giuseppe Tortato, born in Venice in 1967, graduated from the Polytechnic University of Milan and began his career in the United States, working in Amherst, Massachusetts on bioclimatic architecture projects. Upon returning to Milan, he collaborated with Dante Benini and became co-owner of the Milan Layout studio, where he led major urban regeneration and real estate development projects. In 2012, he founded Polisfluxa Srl and Giuseppe Tortato Architetti, pursuing a multidisciplinary and tailored approach to architecture and interior design, with a focus on sustainability and sensory experience, placing people and nature at the heart of the design process. Among his most notable works are the Green Business Hotel in Milan, the Hotel Metropole in Paris (winner of the 2010 Hospitality Award), and La Forgiatura in Milan, a project that brought him international recognition. He has also taught hotel design at POLI.design in Milan and Sapienza University in Rome. Today, he leads a multidisciplinary team active in Italy and abroad, working across the commercial, residential, retail, and interior design sectors. Access Giuseppe Tortato Newsroom

Sculpture Lamp
Halfway between art and design, Embrasse Moi is the majestic light sculpture whose name recalls the play on words between the English brass and the lamp's curved, enveloping shape. The suspension lamp has been handcrafted: a large sculpture in burnished brass that recalls the DNA strand, the weave of which unfolds like a fil rouge throughout the space, giving every project an artistic accent that makes it unique.
