Information

The dining table model “Judas” designed by Finn Juhl and produced by cabinetmaker Niels Vodder in Denmark during the 1950s, exemplifies Juhl’s sculptural and organic approach to furniture design. Crafted from richly grained rosewood, the table features elegant, flowing curves and finely tapered legs that contribute to its distinctive silhouette. Its extendable design allows the table to expand from 200 centimeters (78.7 inches) to 310 centimeters (122 inches) in length, offering both striking visual presence and practical versatility.

Finn Juhl was a seminal figure in Danish modern design, renowned for his innovative, sculptural furniture that contrasted with the strict functionalism of many contemporaries. Inspired by organic forms and the arts, Juhl sought to create pieces that harmonized with their environment. His collaboration with master cabinetmaker Niels Vodder was instrumental in realizing complex, handcrafted woodwork that pushed the boundaries of traditional furniture making. Juhl’s work received international acclaim in the mid-20th century and played a vital role in popularizing Scandinavian design worldwide.

This table remains in very good condition, with the rosewood veneer exhibiting a deep, well-preserved patina. Minor signs of wear consistent with age are present but do not affect the table’s aesthetic or function. The extension mechanism operates smoothly, and the piece has been carefully maintained. As a rare and highly collectible example of Finn Juhl’s refined design philosophy, this table represents an important chapter in the history of Danish modern furniture.

The dimensions measure 200 centimeters in length (extendable to 310 centimeters), 140 centimeters in width, and 71 centimeters in height (78.7 x 55.1 x 28 inches).
