# Liquor-Lover Couches Beer Can Art is Furniture for the Beer Lovers and the Redneck in All of Us By Jacqueline Parrish | Published 2009-10-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-can-art References: [maxim](http://www.maxim.com/humor/articles/84517/20-awesome-things-made-out-beer-cans.html) & [hemmy.net](http://www.hemmy.net/2006/12/31/beer-can-art/) It is quite evident, by the viewing of this particularly interesting form of expression known as beer can art, that some people have ample amounts of imagination and far too much time on their hands. The beer can art serves a dual purpose being an art form that can be appreciated by environmentalists and beer connoisseurs alike. First you drink it, and then you create it. Beer can art is a waste-not, want-not form of exposition. The only problem with beer can art is that one is first required to consume said beer. By the time you had enough empty cans to create a beer can couch, you would be either passed out, or in the hospital in a beer-induced coma. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycled Furniture:** Opportunities for creating furniture or art from waste items, showing the potential for sustainable design - **Indoor DIY Projects:** Potential for engagement and participation in creating personalized pieces - **Brand Integration:** Opportunities for brands to connect with beer drinkers and promote sustainability through upcycling ### Where This Applies - **Furniture & Home Decor:** Creating functional art for homes and businesses out of upcycled materials - **Alcoholic Beverage:** Opportunities for breweries, bars and alcohol brands to promote upcycling and DIY culture - **Environmental Awareness Groups:** Potential partnerships to promote awareness for upcycling, waste reduction and sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Bar Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-installation.md) - [6-Pack Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-decoors.md) - [Conceptual Craft Beer Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-glass.md) - [Drinking Vessel Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beernaments.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Space-Reclaiming Beer Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undrinkable-pints.md) - [DIY Beer Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busch-light.md) - [Bookish Beer Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faber-faber-beak.md) - [Pop Art Beer Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/budweiser-and-sir-peter-blake.md)
