# Construction With Coasters Sven Goebel Builds a House Out of Beer Coasters By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sven-goebel References: [odditycentral](http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/german-designer-builds-house-out-of-beer-coasters.html) & [worldrecordsacademy.org](http://www.worldrecordsacademy.org/drinks/largest_house_made_of_beer_coasters_world_record_set_by_Sven_Goebel_101649.htm) 21-year-old German designer Sven Goebel must love beer. He singlehandedly built the [interior of a house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-anton-ii) out of beer coasters. 300,000 beer coasters, to be exact. Sven Goebel spent 6-8 hours a day building his [beer coaster house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-smallest-beer). He worked from January to April to create this coaster concoction. The house included a [fireplace, armchair, and a table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept). Of course, Sven Goebel succumbed to man code in the end and destroyed his kickass creation. I'd do the same thing. Playing Godzilla is too fun. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Beer Coaster Art:** The trend of using beer coasters as an artistic medium presents opportunities for artists and designers to create unique and innovative creations. - **Upcycled Interior Design:** The trend of repurposing everyday items, like beer coasters, for interior design offers opportunities for designers and homeowners to create eco-friendly and visually interesting spaces. - **Sustainable Construction Materials:** The trend of using unconventional materials, such as beer coasters, for construction purposes highlights the potential for more sustainable and resource-efficient building practices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The use of beer coasters as an artistic medium opens up opportunities for artists and designers to create unique and marketable pieces. - **Interior Design:** The trend of repurposing everyday items, like beer coasters, for interior design presents opportunities for designers to offer eco-friendly and customizable solutions to clients. - **Construction and Architecture:** The use of unconventional materials, like beer coasters, for construction projects suggests the potential for innovative and sustainable building practices that minimize waste and resource consumption. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Bar Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-installation.md) - [Playable Beer Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/budweiser-campaign.md) - [6-Pack Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-decoors.md) - [Cork Coaster-Integrated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table.md) - [Aquatic Beverage Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crab-inspired-coasters.md) - [Coffee Grounds-Made Home Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-grounds-as-material.md) - [Seasonal Straw-Made Beer Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-bale-cooler.md) - [Recycled Plastic Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-plastic-tiny-home.md) - [Structure Building Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-cards-building-kit.md)
