WEINBENAMI is a research-driven spatial design studio that creates experimental spaces serving as platforms for dialogue and reflection, particularly set in cosmopolitan, urban, post-industrial spheres. Drawing on the language of spectacle and hyper-synthetic environments, the studio develops bold spatial interventions that reveal hidden realities, challenge established narratives, and question collective fantasies.


Founded in 2016 by Charles Weinberg and Shai Ben-Ami, WEINBENAMI is a spatial design studio based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and Antwerp, Belgium.
