Just Andersen was born on July 13,1884 in Godhavn, Greenland. His first apprenticeship was as a decorative sculptor and later, in 1910, studied at the Royal Academy for art followed by studying at the School of Danish Crafts in 1912 under Jens Moller Jensen.  He later married Alba Mathilde Happiness, who was a chaser for Mogens Ballin in 1915 and later worked for Georg Jensen. In his early career designed for Georg Jensen, A. Michelsen and P. Hertz. Inspired by the silversmiths the couple worked for, he opened Just Andersen Pewter in 1918. He is best known for his neoclassic Scandinavian design of articles for everyday use in pewter, brass, copper, bronze and Disko.  Andersen, trained as a silversmith but attracted to bronze, is credited for inventing a metal alloy (a mixture of lead, tin, and antiony resembling bronze) he called *disko* named after Disko Bay in his native Greenland.  was used to produce "Bronze" items, such as candlesticks, vases, sculptures and models in the foundry. Just Andersen had his own show rooms in Berlin, London, New York and Los Angeles.  Andersen died on December 11, 1943 in Glostrup, Denmark.
His works are in the collections of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Museum in Stockholm, among others.
