foldups
Things that compact
Foldups are objects designed to collapse flat for easy storage or transport, such as folding chairs, tables, or bicycles.
The term emphasizes the folded state rather than the unfolded, functional one—you store your foldups in the closet until company arrives.
Less commonly, a foldup can describe a failure or collapse, as when a business folds up.
