At Formland in January 2019, A2 Living launched
its new giant Mammut rattan baskets for the first
time. The baskets can be used for trees and large
green plants, both of which are important in the
interior trend at the moment. A large plant bag is
included.
The large Mammut basket is a follow-up to the po-
pular Mammut lantern launched by A2 Living a few
years ago.
- Among our customers for the nearly two metres
tall A2 Living Mammut lantern are lifestyle and
furniture stores, flower and gardening shops, and
restaurants and hotels. With its large volume there
are plenty of opportunities to be creative and use
it for many other things than huge block candles,
which we also sell. You can use the lantern as
a greenhouse, a display, or something else,
says owner and founder of A2 Living, Allan Riis
Søndergaard.

SPECTACULAR TREND
The largest Mammut rattan baskets from A2 Living
measure just above 80 cm in diameter/width and
are 150 cm tall.
- The many sizes of baskets are available both in
round and square shapes and can be used both
inside and in the many inspiring outdoor spaces
that we are seeing more and more, says Allan Riis
Søndergaard.
The Mammut edition of the A2 lantern measures
91 x 91 x 180 cm and weighs approximately 100 kg.
It fits a couple of standard capillary boxes so it can
also be used as mobile greenhouse. Because of its
wheels it can easily be moved.
- The giant lanterns suit many outdoor spaces out-
side both private homes, workplaces, restaurants
and hotels - and at trade shows, says Allan Riis
Søndergaard. He adds that the trend right now fa-
vours larger items that really can attract attention.
- The trend is to create eye-catching features. The
decoration isn’t toned down. It must be attention-
grabbing and have a certain presence, says Allan
Riis Søndergaard, who is looking forward to pre-
senting his new items - including the Mammut edi-
tions of the rattan baskets and lanterns - at Form-
land in Herning this August and at Maison&Objet in
Paris in September.
