What kind of hinges do I need?

Hi all,

I'm building a media unit for below our TV. It is supposed to be surrounded by leftover slats/felt we have from a wall design (see picture 1). I am trying to figure out if the type of hinges I need exist, and if so, what they are.

Doors need to be inset (picture 2) so that I can mount the slats + felt on top of them (picture 3) to be flush with the top and sides. However, this means that opening the door needs to leave space for the attached slat/felt to turn (picture 4), so the hinge needs to "extend" as it opens.

What kind of hinge am I looking for? Does this exist? I can only find inset hinges that would have the door "scrape" the inside/not open, or overlay hinges that extend, but I can't use, since that would push the slats/felt outside of the cabinet top.

(Slat+felt = ¾ inch, door can be whatever thickness). Hoping not to have to build push-to-open drawers.. TIA!
