Portable Table Makers

The Jakob Schenk 'Tick Clip' Makes Furniture Out of Anything

— June 10, 2011 — Art & Design
The Jakob Schenk 'Tick Clip' can turn any piece of wood, metal, or flat, portable surface into a table. This small device is perfect for camping trips or BBQs that lack serious table space.

The design is relatively simple and is made out of metal. With one quick squeeze with both hands, users can attach the gadget to both ends of a flat, moveable surface. Once you attach the device to both ends, simply flip it over and the wood is now a convenient table. The Jakob Schenk 'Tick Clip' is small enough to fit into a backpack or suitcase, making it a lot easier to store this gadget rather than an entire table.

After using the Jakob Schenk 'Tick Clip' for a dinner space, simply throw a quilt on top and get ready for bed!
