Just Andersen was born on July 13th 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
