The company recycles old kegs that have been emptied, cleaned and cut out to create a [classic stool shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-stool) that is then perched on a sturdy wooden base. The [upcycled piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wu-series) features a Baltic birch and pinewood flat seat at the top that is comfortable and blank to give consumers the option to add individual beer caps to design and miniature mosaic. With an added footstool and swivel anchor at the bottom, the seat was made to suit everyone. Each part of the new Kegstool was found and crafted in Tampa, making the carved-out keg an all-American product that is available for purchase online now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Upcycled Furniture:** The Kegstool demonstrates the trend of upcycling by repurposing old kegs into unique seating options. - **Customizable Design:** The blank seat of the Kegstool taps into the trend of customizable products, allowing consumers to add their own beer caps and create a unique design. - **Sustainable Home Decor:** The use of recycled materials in the Kegstool aligns with the growing trend of sustainable home decor, providing environmentally-friendly furniture options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Online Retail:** Online retailers can capitalize on the demand for sustainable furniture options like the Kegstool. - **Craft Beer:** The craft beer industry can leverage the Kegstool to offer unique merchandise to their customers. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate the Kegstool into sustainable home decor projects, offering their clients eco-friendly furniture choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stackable Cork-Like Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drum-stool-1.md) - [Collapsible Recycled Bottle Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-folding-stool.md) - [Active Sitting Cork Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ylin-stool.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Barstools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inheritance-barstool.md) - [Colorful Sustainable Recycled Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stump-recycled.md) - [Recycled Paper Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-plod-stool.md) - [Eco-Friendly Designer Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-girard-stool.md) - [Olive Pit-Constructed Kids Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nontalo.md) - [Thoughtful Reclaimed Material Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noah-folding-stool.md)
