foldaways

Compact storage pieces

Foldaways are items designed to fold flat for compact storage—beds, chairs, tables, or other furniture that collapse when not in use.

The term emphasizes the convenience of tucking things away: The guest room has foldaways instead of permanent furniture.

Also used as an adjective: a foldaway treadmill.
