Bendy Tray [2024] is a beech wood tray designed for special occasions. Born from experimenting in heat-bending wood, inspired by wooden ski manufacturing tradition, it features unexpected symmetries that guides its contents.

ACE [2025] is a collection of hearing aids and wearable hearing devices, made with cellulose acetate, a bio-based alternative to plastic, traditionally used in eyewear.

Inspired by the dual identity of eyeglasses as medical tools and fashion accessories, the design introduces a modular system: a compact technological core that snaps onto interchangeable frames, adaptable to diverse needs and styles.

it would have been impossible to take these pictures without the talent of @gaiapierobon and the amazing help of my assistant that week, @siebertcaceres_julia 🫶🏻

We had such a fun time with @visvaldasmorkevicius portraying the wild spirit of the Hopper chair.

Hopper (2025) is a wooden chair that captures the natural curves found in trees and branches. Its strong graphical identity becomes practical, allowing it to be stacked, neatly aligned in rows, or hung on a table when not in use.

🌼 Behind the scenes of ACE, aka a semester of life in Lausanne
I had to do it again. Thanks to all the friends who accompanied and helped me throughout this journey! 🫶🏻 Luckily, we are not an island.
ACE hearing aids [2025], by @marco.ciacci is a master diploma project in product design at @ecal_ch @ecal_design , developed under the supervision of @erwanbouroullec, @camillebien, and @maxwell_ashford

Looking back at the process that took Hopper from an early sketch to a finalized prototype. In @ecal_design workshops back in 2024. From a cardboard mockup, to a stacking pine prototype, and finally to an exhibition-quality ash chair for Milan.

Five more days to see ACE on display among all the other amazing works of last year at the graduate exhibition at @ecal_ch in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Thank you, @briceetempier , for setting up the exhibition and @_moritzengel for the photos. 🫶🏻

Just launched my updated website 🚀

This is a short preview of the homepage, but on the site you’ll find a selection of projects I’m most proud of as a product designer and what I’ve been up to in the last 5 years.

Feel free to explore the full projects on my site (link in bio) and to reach out ✨

P.S. Debugging is welcome 😇

ACE [2025] is a collection of hearing aids and wearable hearing devices, made with cellulose acetate, a bio-based alternative to plastic, traditionally used in eyewear. This material brings warmth, tactility, and function to the hearing devices, aiming to reposition hearing aids in much the same way glasses have shifted from medical tools to desirable accessories.

Seeing people of all ages engage with my earring-aids during the photo shoot was truly incredible, thank you @intowarmerair for capturing it so beautifully.
