camelbacks

Dromedary's fatty reserves

Camelbacks are sofas or chairs with a curved, humped backrest—the silhouette suggesting a camel's profile.

The style emerged in 18th-century furniture design and remains common: a camelback sofa upholstered in velvet.

In architecture, camelback houses have a raised rear section, typical of New Orleans.

Camelback also describes locomotives with the cab mounted atop the boiler.
