Those are also called flipper doors. I don't believe they have
anything to do with the porpoise.


Looking into that, the problem (or is it not a problem?) is that the
doors are to be wider than the depth of the cabinet. Can you have
double bifold doors that swivel and can be pushed in like a pocket
door/flipper door?


sure. hinge them in the middle. to operate, swing the entire door outwards,
swing the outside half in, then shove the door into the cabinet.

what's on the other side of the wall? perhaps you can just put the entire
door/tv/stand on a swivel and rotate it.
