IB JUST ANDERSEN (1884 - 1943)Ib Just Andersen was a sculptor and silversmith who in his early career designed for Georg Jensen, A. Michelsen and P. Hertz, In 1918 he opened Just Andersen Pewter and he is best known for his neoclassic Scandinavian design of articles for everyday use in pewter, brass, copper, bronze and Disko. (Disko Metal is an alloy of lead and antimony, which was Andersen's own invention and named after the Disko Bay of Greenland, where he grew up.) It was used to produce "Bronze" items, such as candlesticks, vases, sculptures and models in the foundry, because it was cheaper than real bronze. After being cast the pieces were patinated as bronze, copper or brass. Just Andersen had his own show rooms in Berlin, London, New York and Los Angeles. In 1934 he designed Blok flatware for Jensen.
