His career evolved from his teen years onward, when he left home at thirteen and began traveling at sixteen.
In 1963, he began a collaboration with Brickel Associates, designing furniture and later textiles. He is considered a prodigious designer of objects: china, glassware, and silver for Tiffany and Company; flatware for Supreme; porcelain for Sasaki; and leather goods for Hermes. Bennett designs are well represented in the Museum of Modern Art`s permanent collection and in the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. Brickel Associates became Geiger Brickel. Herman Miller recently acquired the company.
