Bio:
Just Andersen (1884–1943) was a Danish sculptor, silversmith, and designer. He is especially known for his works in disko metal, an alloy developed as a signature material in his production. His works range from sculptures to decorative arts and are characterised by an elegant and stylised art deco design language. Andersen is regarded as a central figure in Danish design in the first half of the twentieth century.
