The present extendable dining table is commonly known as the ‘Judas’ or ‘Silver’ table in reference to the 30 precious metal inlays in the shape and sizes of coins that decorate the tabletop. This detail also serves the practical function of indicating the place settings for four, six, eight or ten guests. Finn Juhl included the present design in the dining room of his own residence, which he built for himself and his family in Ordrup, outside of Copenhagen a few years earlier, in 1942.
