Ideas for profile ends

Any linear form has two ends. They seem insignificant but I see a creative potential in them, a rarely questioned interstice. These two aluminium tube caps were designed to fit in with the Grand Palais renovation project led by Samy Rio and Atelier Senzu. By highlighting the irregularities produced by industrial processes such as aluminium casting and mechanical turning, these caps transform the industrial semi-finished product into a unique piece.
