His major works include the structural support system named Quadror, the Galataport Masterplan in Istanbul, Turkey, and the Cappellini Peacock chair.

[3] Benshetrit firm's first architectural project consisted of a high-end residential masterplan for Nurai, a private island off the coast of Abu Dhabi.

During his academic career, he grew interested in and inspired by the work of Isamo Noguchi, Achille Castiglioni, and Buckminster Fuller.

[12] Manufactured by Italian furniture brand Cappellini, the chair consists of three layers of felt folded and held in place with a simple metal frame.

[14] Recognizing that his target clientele owned multiple homes worldwide, Dror sought to differentiate his designs by enhancing privacy while preserving a sense of community.

[12] This was achieved by covering the roofs of the complex with a singular vegetative carpet, sheltering inhabitants from their neighbors while also providing open space for socialization.

[18] He designed the world's first expandable carry-on suitcase, which had the ability to double in size, as well as a backpack, travel satchel, dopp kit, and more.The integration of technology and luxury details was highly successful, leading Dror to later collaborate with Tumi to redesign their retail experience.

[22] Through collaboration with the Belgian 3D printing innovator Materialise, Dror was able to manufacture and test the QuaDror structure on an advanced level.

With the help of Miami firm BEA, the team was able to invent a 3.5 meter hydraulic boardwalk and gangway system that hatches open when a ship docks.
