Andersen began his career designing for Georg Jensen, A. Michelsen and P. Hertz. Inspired by the silversmiths he worked for, Andersen opened Just Andersen Pewter in 1918. The artist is best known for his neoclassic Scandanavian design of household objects in pewter, copper, bronze, brass and most importantly, “Disko”. Disko Metal was Andersen’s own invention—a mixture of lead and antimony. Disko Metal was used to produce “Bronze” items as it was much cheaper than real bronze. Andersen had showrooms in London, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles. Andersen was prolific up until his death in 1943.
