collapsible
Designed to fold
Collapsible describes something designed to fold or compress into a smaller, more compact form: a collapsible umbrella, a collapsible stroller, collapsible furniture.
The word implies intentional design—a collapsible item can be restored to full size, unlike something that merely collapses from weakness or damage.
