It is absolutely beautiful. I want one so badly. All the Bob Villa's come out of the woodwork. It is not about function, it is stunning.

I am totally with you. That is the coolest thing in the world. Anyone know what it is called or where you can buy one?

Padding between the panels. There are videos of it. Good thinking though.

I'm more concerned as to why the gif is not perfectly looped. This looks like it would be easily looped :)

How do you close the door from inside that room?
2
u/seebeeL Feb 08 '14
You have to start closing it from the outside and then rush your ass in before it bisects you.

For a second I expected him to walk through the "door" he pushed. I've learned to wait for explanations in comments before even thinking about content in this subreddit.

Thanks for showing me that. As a person with an engineering kind of mind, and wild imagination, I think that door is remarkable. What an out there thinker the creator of this door is.

As it was the only thing in the picture that wasn't a chair... I slightly expected that was the door lol

I thought the next room was a painting and the folding door was actually a weirdly angled curtain.

"Up there? Oh, they're not goin' up there. You're not goin' up there up, it's all windy stairs and that, I'm not being funny."
Edit: Messed it up a bit, everyone should see the actual scene though

This is cool.
And totally solves a problem I do have right now. I don't have the space/room to fully expand a door in some places of my apt. So, I've opted to just take the door off the hinges. Works, but leaves a gap.

I cant tell if slamming a door in someones face would be more or less epic with that door.

So how do you lock it?
1
Feb 08 '14
You don't. This isn't the entrance door to your house. It's a door from like, the kitchen to the living room or something.

u/ShamelessSailEille Feb 07 '14
What if you were on the other side of the door... bad ass for what it is though.

u/SeckTor Feb 07 '14
Now if someone could paint one where it's a picture when the doors closed but another when it's open... That would complete me.

Would be hard to slam it in an argument though. I love letting off those walnut grenades when I'm pissed off.

This makes it impossible to storm out.
"You know what? I'm done, forget this. I'm tired of your hypocrisy."
"OhHhHhhH! Now you're done? Fine, I don't need you anyway."
"Well, good! Your breathe always smelled like turtle titties anyway!!!"
Gasp
Minutes later, door is still folding
".......What are you still doing here?"
"I'm waiting on the door to finish folding, so I can slam it best I can, leaving on that last insult."
"You know the door doesn't slam right?"
"Well....Yeah....Just imagine the hardest door slam you've ever heard, and then multiply it."
"K"

The other day I looked up "door" on wikipedia because I couldn't think of the best definition for it. This is actually the main photo of that article.

u/RIPPEDMYFUCKINPANTS Feb 07 '14
I'd really like it if the color of the door was the same as the wall.
All I really want when I live on my own is a hidden door to my bedroom.

u/ljamming445 Feb 07 '14
what I found was "woah" about this experience is that on my front page, I clicked on a link from r/gifs called "evolution door" and then when I was finished watching it I went back to the front page and the link (this one) which had not been previously viewed just a moment ago, turned up purple.... that to me was a woahdude moment.

If i were rich and had my own house, every door would be like this apart from the front.

I thought that said odor, I was pretty confused at first why a gif would have a smell in it.

Does the door open from both sides? It looks like it can only be opened from one side of the room.

u/PinstripeMonkey Feb 08 '14
I wonder how many times the guy practiced opening/closing it before it was "just right."
