Finn Juhl Judas dining table

This rare “Judas” dining table, designed by the renowned Danish architect and designer Finn Juhl in the 1950s, is a remarkable example of mid-century Scandinavian design. Handcrafted by the esteemed cabinetmaker Niels Vodder in Copenhagen, Denmark, this table exemplifies the impeccable craftsmanship for which Vodder’s workshop was known. The table is constructed from high-quality teak wood, featuring a warm and richly grained surface that highlights the natural beauty of the material, a hallmark of Scandinavian design during the era.

The design of the table is distinguished by its oval-shaped tabletop, supported by four elegantly tapered legs that contribute to its sophisticated and balanced appearance. The tabletop is extendable, seamlessly transitioning from its original oval form into a longer oval shape, making it highly functional for accommodating more guests during gatherings. This adaptability is a key feature, adding both practicality and elegance to the piece.

The table is in excellent vintage condition, having been carefully preserved. It retains the integrity of its original design, with minimal wear consistent with its age, adding to its authenticity and appeal. The craftsmanship and timeless design continue to reflect Finn Juhl’s influential approach to modern furniture design.

The dimensions of the table are 200 cm in width (78.7 inches), which extends to 310 cm (122 inches), 140 cm in depth (55.1 inches), and 72 cm in height (28.3 inches). This makes it a functional and striking piece, perfect for both intimate meals and larger gatherings.
