While the door’s collapsible opening and closing is definitely fascinating, and aesthetically pleasing, social media users are divided about whether it offers a practical advantage over the conventional version. Here are some of the responses.
I may not "need" it, but I sure would like to have one...somewhere, in my abode;

😉-just for the hell of it.
Very novel & quite cool but a bit show "offy". What are the practical benefits? A regular door is efficient enough.

Well, this would be a great solution for closets, and places where you need access to and leave, not stay inside.

Also it’s like the sliding doors, the benefit is that they don’t take up space when they are open.
Plus I doubt this was created to solve a problem, is mainly art.
Pretty, but as useful as a chocolate teapot.
