Orderly living space can be difficult to create and maintain. Between hanging clothes and packed wardrobe space it can be hard to find the space to store all of your belongings. The cost of living space is only getting higher, and as a result more of us are living in smaller apartments and homes that put storage space at a premium.
A new crowdfunding campaign being run on popular crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, however, is aiming to streamline the practice of optimizing storage space with an innovative new easy-to-mount magnetic loop system that makes it possible to store clothes, accessories, household items, and even washing anywhere in the home.
The Tap-Tab Magnetic Loops Kickstarter has already gained a massive amount of support in the first few days since launch, and is set to become one of the most popular lifestyle and home gadgets of 2017. In this article, we’ll check out the Tap-Tab system and find out how it works to help you determine whether they can revolutionize the way you use your living space.
What Are TAP-TAB Magnetic Loops?
Tap-Tab loops are unique magnetized loops that can be attached to any metallic surface in the home and used to mount a variety of items. Incorporating a minimalist design aesthetic, Tap-Tab loops can be mounted to the fridge, a custom-built rack, cabinets, or virtually any other metal surface.
Ideal for creative individuals living in small apartments or tiny homes, the Tap-Tab Magnetic Loops incorporates cutting-edge magnetic technology to streamline everyday life.
How Tap-Tab Magnetic Loops Work
The Tap-Tab system consists of a paired set of magnetic loop hooks that are intended to be used for a single item. In order to use the Tap-Tab system with a piece of clothing, a towel, or accessories like hats and handbags, a matching set of Tap-Tabs are attached to both the inner and outer layers. The result is a low-profile magnetic attachment system that can be quickly thrown onto a magnetic surface or the Tap-Tab board.
The Tap-Tab magnetic board is similar in design to a traditional whiteboard or corkboard, and can be hung on any wall with either double sided tape or picture hooks. Mounting the Tap-Tab board in the kitchen makes it simple to locate kitchen towels, utensils, or even spice containers, while mounting a Tap-Tab board in the bathroom makes it simple to locate key hygiene items at a glance.
Attaching a pair of Tap-Tabs to a jacket makes it possible to create your own coat hook on the go, even in public cafes and parks. The Tap-Tab is also ideal for quickly attaching a gym towel to workout equipment, or organizing creative spaces and offices.
It’s also possible to use the Tap-Tab to quickly create indoor clotheslines, which is ideal for apartment living that doesn’t offer an outdoor clothesline.
Design & Construction
Each Tap-Tab Magnetic Loop contains a super-powerful neodymium magnet, with an eco-friendly faux leather coating to prevent scratching or loud tapping noises. The magnetic force provided by the neodymium magnet in the Tap-Tab is impressive- able to hold up to 5 kilograms, or just over 11 pounds, the Tap-Tab is strong enough to hold up even the bulkiest household goods or clothing,
The Tap-Tab Magnetic Board offers a multi-layered coating to prevent loud tapping and provide effortless removal, and measures in at roughly 24 inches by 15 inches. The Tap-Tab is currently only available in soft white coloring, but will be offered in more color options at the conclusion of the Tap-Tab crowdfunding campaign.
The TAP-TAB Magnetic Loops Story
The TAP-TAB Magnetic Loops solution is the brainchild of a creative couple- Masza and Dennis, who struggled to find a simple, effective, and easy to use method of keeping their small living space organized.
After deciding on a magnetic attachment system, the couple ran through hundreds of different prototypes and researched a wide variety of material options before settling on eco-leather and neodymium magnets.
After engaging a group of creative professionals to refine the concept, including graphic designers, filmmakers, and photographers, the Tap-Tab team released the Tap-Tab concept on Kickstarter.
The TAP-TAB Magnetic Loops Kickstarter campaign finishes in July 2017, at which point supplying and manufacturing will be finalized, with an expected shipping date of December 2017.
TAP-TAB Magnetic Loops Verdict
The Tap-Tab Magnetic Loop system is an innovative and creative approach to home storage optimization. The lowest backing level- a super early bird special that offers 4 sets of Tap-Tab loops- is currently available for just $25 USD, making it an extremely cost effective option.
If you’re looking for an intelligent way to streamline your living space, the Tap-Tab Kickstarter campaign is definitely worth backing.
