camshaft: Was that an actual piece of B&O furniture?
Yes
it was, but not too well known. It was a modular system (as you can see
in one of the last pictures) you could build up the way you wanted.
And
I have no flippin' idea what Verner Panton has to do with anything when
general design people sell B&O, but I guess they think it is a good
buzzword... besides, I think these were from the '80s and so would be
more like Jimmy Carter era
Oh yes, and I love it. Looks pretty useful as well.
