Fordlândia was built in the wilderness of the Amazon by American industrialist Henry Ford in the late 1920’s to secure a supply of rubber for his empire. Inspired by the tropical ghost town, Studio Swine imagined a world where Fordlândia was a success, combining nature and industry. MH Design helped fabricate the furniture products made from ebonite - a natural rubber from the Brazillian rainforest.  Fordlandia was exhibited in Fashion Space Gallery and part of London Design Festival 2016.
