Discover the Ingenious Design of the Lopsided Napkin Holder

Often, the brilliance of a design goes unnoticed when it functions seamlessly. I've recently discovered an exceptional example of this – a napkin holder that requires no learning curve. Its simplicity might be by design or mere happenstance.

The holder is a straightforward, cylindrical piece. However, have you ever paid attention to how the napkins are folded within? They're not equally halved but intriguingly lopsided.

This design choice becomes apparent when the napkins are placed in the holder, the shorter end facing outward in a convex shape. When you reach out to grab a napkin, something remarkable occurs. Your index finger naturally pushes against the longer end of the fold, creating a gap. Then, effortlessly, your thumb pinches and extracts the napkin.

It's a subtle yet clever design. Did you ever notice this simple but effective mechanism?
