Christophe Ascençao is an art director and industrial designer based in Zürich, working with image and object.

He recently worked within On as an art director, developing campaigns and visual content across photography and film, including work with athletes. There, he refined a visual language shaped by movement and performance.

Alongside his image-making practice, he develops a design approach that is simple, playful, and unpredictable, with a current focus on textile innovation.

The jury praised the project for its ambition, rigorous methodology, and strong professional execution, highlighting its aesthetic clarity, controlled user experience, and its potential within the night train sector.

A daily tool that breaks away.
Biscuit redefines the everyday bathroom mirror by integrating a detachable hand mirror into its surface. Held in place by a discreet magnetic system, the circular section can be effortlessly removed for close-up use, ideal for tasks such as makeup application, shaving, or skincare routines.
