The Principle

The principle is very simple, involving just three pieces of adhesive tape connecting the surface of one panel with the surface on the opposite side of the other panel. The trick is to alternate the three pieces in a chess pattern – two on one side and the one between them on the other.

The Adaptability:

Emotional

The first unique quality of TapeFlips is the ability to alternate styles. It is easily done by changing the color and the pattern of the tape. Using stickers, adhesive foil, or even painting can change the look of the DIY furniture dramatically.

Structural

The second unique quality of TapeFlips is the ability to improve structurally. It can be done by adding more tape when needed. Even if some piece of tape breaks down it can be substituted immediately with more layers of it, making the whole structure of the modular furniture even stronger.
