Designers often think up of ingenious ways to redefine common place products and items. See for example this foldable staircase design from industrial designer Aaron Tang. Though it basically looks and functions as a staircase, Aaron calls it a ‘redefined door’ as it is “an element of a wall that allowed passageway to another environment when opened and restricted passageway when closed.”
Using just hinges and pistons, the staircase can fold up a wall to expand space on the lower level or restrict access to the upper level. Aaron’s staircase is designed to be closed or opened from upstairs and downstairs.

really nice designs and awesome creation
How make myself a top designer?
i like foledabal stairs.
Inspiration just punched me in the face. I want this, but not as folding stairs, rather as a stairway that descends into the wall and has motion sensors. So when I feel like it, it is turned on and opens for everyone. But at some point I want private time and the stairway stays inside the wall unless you have the key.
i love the concept, though can be improved in more technical aspects such as sensors and stuff like that.
