Foldable - Page 14

A foldable refers to an object or device that can be bent or collapsed along specific lines or joints to reduce its size for storage or transport. This design principle is commonly applied in various products, such as furniture (e.g., foldable tables and chairs), mobile technology (e.g., foldable smartphones and tablets), and outdoor gear (e.g., foldable bicycles and camping equipment). The main advantage of foldable items is their space-saving capability, allowing for convenience and portability while maintaining functionality when needed. The folding mechanism can involve hinges, creases, or other engineering methods to enable smooth opening and closing actions.
