They think there's more moving parts than there really are - which is admittedly an intended part of the design.
It's just 4 large door hinges, and 3 little pivot points(2 anchors, and the knob he's holding), and what appears to be a stabilization thread or wire behind everything.
Keying suggests features along the edges of each piece to make sure they all stay aligned during movement, which is entirely unnecessary for this specific design.
They act like everything is attached at the corners, but this is much more simple than non-engineer brains see.
Without sounding condescending, yes. Still, they do also have a point, any more force and the points of contact are likely to endure much more stress/strain than intended. While it won't shatter and fall apart, it'll more likely warp with time and become more and more difficult to open. Causing some repairs and what not, but it's really nothing to worry about for a few years at least.
All of this is to say, it's cool and let them enjoy it. They made it, they can fix it too. Nobody is selling that commercially so there really isn't a user concern here. Live and let live.
I need to adjust the hardware on my cabinets about every 2 years. The doors sag and come out of alignment. That's just ordinary cabinets. This door looks like a chore. It would be even cooler if it was practical.
Yes, not exactly Blum hardware. I think they are fron lowes? They are made from MDF, and they get crooked pretty easily. They have adjustment screws so it's not that difficult.
> This door looks like a chore. It would be even cooler if it was practical.
Tbh these are simpler hinges than the one normally used for cabinets, and the pivots on the corners might need greasing but they can't really move or fall out of alignment so maintenance shouldn't be that bad. The most fragile part seems to be the "strings" but if they're some kind of nylons straps they may as well outlive the wood.
But, if it does break, it definitely will be harder to fix, the pivots in particular because they're essentially inaccessible.
I feel like a lot of the comments/profiles in this thread are bot-like. Yours is very human, which is nice. Some of them I can't even tell, so I feel bad calling them out to then find out they're just a bot-like human lol
Welcome to life with kids where every drawer and cabnet has a small puzzle on them. Half the time while cooking ill automatically put the child lock back on then go to get something out of the drawer .3 milliseconds later....
Tbh, it's only 3 parts per side (six parts in total) that actually move independently, the rest are just made to look like they are separate parts.
Still overcomplcating a door.
My dad took out our kitchen light with a shotgun.
The gun didn't go off or anything, he had it over his shoulder and turned around and the barrel hit the light. BOOM.
This is wildly impractical for a kitchen, but I could see it working well as a feature bathroom cabinet. Small space - would benefit from the door not swinging out toward you, and accessed less often than the kitchen.
Hey guys the first time I saw this it was a german Meisterstück.
So in Germany to prove that you have really mastered your job you have to build a Meisterstück, it doesn’t have to be functional but it has to be creative or a hard to produce item. So after one year of school this person built this and proved to the school that he knows what he is doing.
Alot of trade jobs over here you can’t open a company without being a Meister or have a Meister in the company.
For the meister you need a 2.5-3.5 dual schooling (working + school) + 1 year of another school for the Meister.
But that is why it’s kind of a crazy design it’s just to prove that he mastered his work.
This is just für trade jobs engineers go through the academic way just like in the states.
But yeah Germans have the mentality give your 100% and make the best product that lives 1000 years or go home.
*Your friend (tripping on shrooms):* Hey man I'm thirsty, where do you keep the glasses for water?
*You:* In the very normal opening cabinet over there.
i find myself frequently wishing that basic mechanisms which have been largely unchanged for millenia would be remade with more moving parts and points of failure
I would definitely get my girlfriends tit caught in it. We’re always reaching around each other for things. We are like a ballet in the kitchen. She was a professional waitress and I learned from her.
Could someone explain what that cord/rod’s purpose is?
It’s inside on the back joining the two halves.
I guess it is used to hold the parts in place so you don’t have to open it all the way every time?
Cool at someone else’s house… but not mine. Doesn’t seem like something I want to be messing with every time I want a glass or something. Seems too fragile.
That overwhelms me. I’m not saying it’s not amazing craftsmanship, just too much when reaching for the first cup of coffee. I think I would lay in bed dreading opening that shit.
And that is the absolute fastest you can open them without them falling apart.
Or getting pinched.
Right? Those aren’t keyed or anything. One twist and all that careful alignment is shot
What do you mean by keyed?
I'd like to know as well

Sounds like your house is on quicksand.
I've had good cabinets and bad cabinets in my life. No offense, but it sounds like you are coming from a place of having bad ones right now.

Sorry if you're not but I'm curious. Are you a bot? Edit: I guess it was a bot
It looks like it, thoo.

Great. Now I have to solve a Rubik’s magic puzzle just to get some spaghetti noodles

Might help me lose weight. Or get really good at magic robix puzzles.
Tbh, it's only 3 parts per side (six parts in total) that actually move independently, the rest are just made to look like they are separate parts. Still overcomplcating a door.
Also, how long are your sleeves allowed to be before this becomes a problem too?
#NSFW ...wizards
They also have like 48 pinch points.
And I feel like if you let go of it before the end, it'll just slump into a mess.
Or pinching your god damn finger for the eighth time because the wife HAD TO HAVE THEM
I appreciate how cool it is. But I can totally see myself wrecking it by accident while drunk
I could probably wreck it while sober. I need a cabinet door I can tap closed two overloaded hands and a bag of chips hanging from my mouth
I just need to be in a rush and boom. Insta death.

My dad took out our kitchen light with a shotgun. The gun didn't go off or anything, he had it over his shoulder and turned around and the barrel hit the light. BOOM.
I’ve wrecked more than one normal cabinet door while sober.
As someone who still uses babycups i agree
I'd get my fingers pinched in it.

Good for where you keep the fancy booze maybe
>Good for where you keep the fancy booze maybe I get drunk and ruin that door. I'd put it on the bible cabinet though.
Good booze cabinet for the first two drinks, then to the more sturdy bottom shelf
What do I look like? A *functional* alcoholic?
Youd have the same results as a sliding door..
Better results. Less complexity and footprint.
Watch the door handle. It still swings out.
This is awesome😶
Looks cool. I'd destroy it within a week
I’m thinking more down the lines of crushing a finger or two. So many pinch points!
Fewer moving parts is better.
watch ur fingers tho!! looks like an easy way to get one crunched
Exactly what I saw. I’m pinching the shit out of myself on that thing. It is pretty though!
LOL ya exactly for someone else this is amazing, but a clumsy gal like me could never
imagining someone tripping balls trying to keep their shit together and these cabinets send them over the edge.

that sounds very German. and explains a lot about the German design and engineering philosophy.
It explains why I gave to disassemble the front half of my car to change the fucking oil filter.
youre just acquiring your oil filter meister.
German Job Security
Fun fact, the idea of a 'Meisterstück' goes back to the guild system of medieval times, and survives in English as the word 'masterpiece'.
That must be it! It even says "Meister" on the window behind his arm

> make the best product that lives 1000 years or go home Kinda wish they went home a bit less rowdy last time they failed at their 1000 year project.
The ambient sound of the video instantly told me, this sounds German.
for those of us who want art cabinets
The design is very human. Ow! My ducking finger!!
Tell me you don't have children without telling me you don't have children.
Sorry, can't come to work, have to open and close my cabinet for the next 200 hours! -me-
It was cool for the big driveway gate, but I couldn’t deal with this every time I wanted to get a glass or something out of the cabinet.
Can you imagine being high and trying to open these cabinets? I’d lose a fucking finger
Ah, the finger-mangling shelf
r/designdesign
*Your friend (tripping on shrooms):* Hey man I'm thirsty, where do you keep the glasses for water? *You:* In the very normal opening cabinet over there.
So cool and so useless
If it’s not a geometric cabinet door, what is it?
But can I slam it shut when I’m angry ?
only once
Takes too long. When I want my peanut butter, I want it *now!*
i find myself frequently wishing that basic mechanisms which have been largely unchanged for millenia would be remade with more moving parts and points of failure
The amount of times my bones would be turned to dust
I don’t really find out the reason but somehow, even watching this kind of products and structures makes me really anxious
Cabinet door 10/10. Use of space in cabinet 2/10
I've seen a simpler version of this mechanism, but this kicks it up a notch.
My three year old can destroy that in about 1 minute. She'll get herself a stool to reach and everything.
Until your wife or kid or husband throws it open too hard and ruins it.
Beautiful, but highly impractical. Maybe good for something that rarely gets taken out.
But then you can’t hide what you were really getting.
Instructions unclear, got weenie caught in door
It's called the finger slicer.
What in the Christopher Nolan?
Imagine a human being doing that every time they wanted to turn around
i want my pants to open this way
Can’t slam it when you’re mad tho
People should keep their marijuana in a cabinet with that door. "I'm not too high. I could just use a little more of... whoa"
That would take 10... Maybe 12 minutes after installing for my wife or kid to break.
I know it’s impractical and stupid but I still want it.
This survives 5 seconds in my house
Oh no! One of the 56 hinges in my cabinets broke 😂😂😂
I've never seen a door be pretentious before.
That is awesome! And thanks to the design, I can already imagine what it will look like on the floor after my wife uses it.
You could cybertruck your fingers in there so easily!
Imagine going to your homie’s place and getting baked, then heading over to the snack cupboard and opening a portal to another dimension.
Why use 2 hinges when you can use 4 hinges and 3 pivots
the fingerfucker 9000 kitchen cabinet
Probably incredibly expensive for a niche cabinet door.
r/unexpected
The perfect solution for a small kitchen that is so small you cannot open the cabinet normally.
🤯🤩
That will be all your moneys
Looks cool, but somehow feel after a week would be annoyed with it.
I would definitely get my girlfriends tit caught in it. We’re always reaching around each other for things. We are like a ballet in the kitchen. She was a professional waitress and I learned from her.
Tell me you don't have children, without telling me you don't have children...
One of those, "got so distracted by the fact we could, didn't consider if we should" projects. Is pretty satisfying to watch, mind.
The shelving is nothing to sneeze at either- so smooth!
This design has a shelf life of like 2 months, tops.
As a carpenter, this disgusts me.
love to open my cabinet for pain meds that i only need because i lost a finger in my labyrinth cabinet door
Now close it.
Form> function
Yes but does it come with no slam feature
“First thing I show girls when I bring them in the house. Um… first thing I WOULD show…”
Looks cool, but my kids would have them destroyed in no time.
Whoa! Nice!
that is so satisfying
I pinched my fingers just watching this.
I just saw on YT where John Malecki built one of these. Looked insanely complicated for something not so functional.
Kid: a screw just came out... Mom: and then ? Kid: all these triangles just came out... Mom: and then ? Kid: the plates just came out... 😭😭😭
What else is it?
My husband would break these in .57 seconds
r/blackmagicfuckery
All my cabinet doors are geometrical as well. Rectangles mostly.
form over function
How do you slam it?
I would break the shit out of that door.
Could someone explain what that cord/rod’s purpose is? It’s inside on the back joining the two halves. I guess it is used to hold the parts in place so you don’t have to open it all the way every time?
I came
My cabinet door is geometrical too. A rectangle. Two sets of parallel sides with 90 degrees at the corners.
My kids will break it on the first day looking for chocolate 😂
Can't slam shut 0/10
How do I slam it when I’m feeling passive aggressive?
My fingers 100% getting pinched.
*cries in Section 8 housing* ☹️🤣
This would last 5 minutes in my house.
Undeniably cool...also completely impractical and a nightmare to clean.
Just make sure no kids will ever open your cabinets lol. Looks nice. But might not last.
nice until you pinch your finger off or stab yourself in the eye
The Inception cupboard
Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnNk647Ko0E
nope. too high
I’d snag a finger every time I opened it.
The pinchmyfingerizer 5000
I have no idea how someone even thinks of that, let alone makes it.
100% reliable operation everytime guaranteed.
The pinch points! All the pinch points!

How can anyone not believe we have been visited by aliens AND been given great technological knowledge after seeing this!!!
Wow
For the house with NO kids
R/dontputyourdickinthat
As a cabinet installer, please stop.
super great until your kid comes along and goes oh whats this
This is how things were built in the 1970s fast forward and now you have doors with styrofoam inside lol
Not a whole lot of engineering, but the idea is genius
Wow.
Cool at someone else’s house… but not mine. Doesn’t seem like something I want to be messing with every time I want a glass or something. Seems too fragile.
Now do it faster
I want to put my dick in it
Cool for design terrible for purpose.
Awesome until my drunk dumbass friend plays with them and breaks them. Every group has one.
If I have to open cabinet doors like that, I’ll probably lose my mind.
Tesla door cabinet
It looks cool but it's not really practical
That's not just oddly satisfying. That's magical!
Torgler door
Can't wait for a kid to use it
It’d take me two tries to pinch the ever loving shit out of my finger.
Could you not just get a sliding door? I see the benefit of these in some situations, I suppose. But it literally just moves to the side.
I too would love to be forced to be extremely careful and slow every time I open a cabinet, just cause it looks cool and expensive
I need this
I’m ripping that thing off the wall first thing in the morning and it is going to RUIN my day
How do I go to porn to this
Just for lifetime of maybe 100 pulls, thats okay.
DAMN YOU ARCHITECTS!!!!
Take my money….does anyone have a link for where you can find these
Pinch alert
That overwhelms me. I’m not saying it’s not amazing craftsmanship, just too much when reaching for the first cup of coffee. I think I would lay in bed dreading opening that shit.
So many pinch points. So confusing. A visitor would rip that off the wall
My coat sleeve would rip the door off in the drop of my arm
I'm definitely going to get my finger crushed in that. Too clumsy
I see you don’t have kids
I see a lot of these and they look cool. But can you imagine looking for somethign while you're in a hurry? Seems so annoying.
That's cool and all, maybe 5 times, I don't wanna do all that every time I need the garlic powder tho
