Even though his designs are versatile, they all share a common theme: Taking a day-to-day classic product and adding depth and complexity to it, which then turns it into a new and original concept. One of his latest designs, The Patibolo, features a [floor lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-light-totem-i) that looks just like a patibolo, or a hangman's gallows. It is made of a [painted steel structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreshadow-table-lamp), concrete base, and a rope hanging from the top, which seems to be used to turn the light on.
