Verner Panton is known for many spetacular designs. This one catches the eye not in the first moment, but when you use it you begin to realize, what a genious he was: you donīt have to bend down to turn the buttons. Its perfect near a seat and can even be put in the middle of the room, since the back looks the same as the front!
And the quality of the knobs(flywheel or so) and also overall is incredible.

With original dust cover and operation manual.
