IGGÖN is anything but awkward. It consists of a metal base and textile bags that you carry home in a small box. You fill the bags with sand and hook them together so they sit steadily and keep the metal base in place. The outer fabric of the bags, in a neutral gray colour, is made from a water-repellent and mostly recycled textile. “We tested the bags outdoors an entire winter, and even though they had to withstand rain, wind, and snow, they looked really nice afterwards,” says Gunilla.

Product details
Forget about struggling with heavy and bulky umbrella bases – IGGÖN is easy to bring home, install and move thanks to the practical handles on each bag.
Don’t worry about hitting your toes, since sandbags are softer and gentler on your feet than stone or concrete, even when fully filled with sand.
The sandbags are made from 90% recycled polyester, a durable and waterproof textile that resists mould and dirt.
The gray-coloured sandbags gives a discreet impression and coordinates nicely with most surroundings.
You can usually buy sand at your local hardware store.

Ratings and reviews
Annoying and uglyAliceNot only are these sandbags really hideous, they’re incredibly annoying to fill. I needed to spend an extra $80 to buy sand to fill this with, whereas the old model could have just taken water. I really regret this purchase and wish I had gotten the hard plastic base before they discontinued it.

Story
The umbrella’s best friend
The umbrella base might not be the first thing you think of when planning your balcony or terrace. But it’s actually quite important for your outdoor life to be enjoyable, even on the sunniest days. IGGÖN umbrella base with sandbags makes it easy to get that small but important detail in place.
”We decided to make a really smart umbrella base, one that fits all of our umbrellas,” says product developer Gunilla Hansson. “That way, you don’t have to choose between different models. Instead, you can put all focus on the actual umbrella, the furniture, and everything else that makes your outdoor space pleasant.” Before, there were concrete and plastic umbrella bases in our product range. They were good and did their job. “But it’s not sustainable to ship heavy concrete around. Also, the umbrella bases were awkward for customers to transport home,” Gunilla explains.
Bags filled with sand
Strong but kind
IGGÖN is stable and reliable and does exactly the same job as a traditional umbrella base. But it’s much easier to handle and move around. Simply lift the sandbags by the handles, move the umbrella, and put the bags back in place again. Perhaps IGGÖN is a bit kinder, too. “The sand-filled bags are soft against bare summer feet. Even if you or a small family member happens to stumble into them toes first.”
