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.
Created by Giuseppe Tortato
Honored with the A' Design Award.
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.

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.
Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.
Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
