tanbk 4th Gear February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 (edited) Austrian artist Klemens Torggler has reinvented the door with his latest project. Called the Evolution Door (which we first spotted on the blog Colossal), the 4-panel door opens and closes elegantly as though it’s made of pieces of paper. Roggler calls it a “flip panel door” (or “Dryehplattentür”). Torggler has a few variations on this door, one with the origami-esque triangles that fold out to help the door move, and another system with rods that rotate two square panels. Currently the door is a prototype, and comes in a glass, steel, and wood version. Watch the triangle version in action below: And here’s the steel door with rod system: Edited February 12, 2014 by tanbk ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 to me it really reinvent and how the door should be like, either swing or slide, nice. The only thing is how to lock it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Another thing is how to open/close the door if you are on the other side? You can't reach switch to open. And if you want to close and be on the other side, once you touch the switch, you have to race to the other room before it fully closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
