Just Andersen (1884–1943) was a Danish artist and designer, known for his jewelry and metalwork. He was educated at the School of Applied Arts in Copenhagen and worked with materials such as silver, brass, and copper. Andersen was famous for his minimalist design style, which combined functionality with aesthetics. He collaborated with renowned design houses like Georg Jensen and was recognized both in Denmark and internationally. His work was characterized by simplicity and elegance, and he had a significant influence on Danish design in the 20th century.
