Michael Bennett is an interdisciplinary designer whose work translates the forms and languages of the African diaspora into spatial practice. His approach moves across architecture, sculpture, and furniture, engaging design through structure, material, and scale. Drawing from object histories and architectural motifs of the diaspora, he creates spaces and artifacts that embed cultural memory within contemporary design. His philosophy bridges craft and engineering, situating historical narratives within modern practice to produce work that is functional, poetic, and deeply spatial.
