new office door smells funny

As a late addition to the office renovation here at work, we had a white, textured vinyl, concertina style, fold away door installed in the kitchenette yesterday.
Can you believe in this modern day and age that it closes with a vinyl strap attached to a big metal press stud affixed to the door frame?
It has been touched by the ugly stick big time.
When the architect said “slide away door” I was expecting something a bit more modern and gadgety. Something a bit ‘Star trek’ even. A metallic door which might open automatically on approach, sliding away to goodness only knows where with a satisfying swooshy sort of sound. Maybe even with some sort of blinking lights arrangement.
But no – it’s vinyl, it’s white, it has a big press stud AND it smells weird.
Very disappointing altogether.
