He trained as a decorative sculptor and later studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ sculpture school. In 1918, he founded the Just Andersen company with his wife Alba. He is particularly known for his sculptural functional objects in bronze, pewter and Disko metal, an alloy he developed and named after Disko Bay.
