Founded by Amanda Christine Harth, Universe of Harth embodies the beauty of memory and the possibilities of the future, uniting sustainable practices with innovative design.

Outside of curated fragrance experiences, Amanda’s work is heavily centered around textile designs and a powerful exploration of Black culture’s connection to denim.

Made from Levi’s jeans, indigo-dyed fabric using West African techniques, and patches from Madder Root-dyed fabric, this stunning piece is the tactile centerpiece of the event.

Showcased February 1 - April 30, Harth's residency will feature her innovative fragrances in collaboration with her textile works, creating a sensory rich journey for the audience.

The launch will also feature a welcome cocktail inspired by Amanda’s textile art—crafted with indigo gin, pear, rosemary, and ginger—allowing guests to taste the rich history embedded in her work. Complimentary light bites will add to the experience, inviting you to savor and connect with the artist and guests.

This is a unique opportunity to meet Amanda Christine Harth, engage with Chicago's vibrant local artist community, and experience the fusion of art and sensory exploration.

Let this event be your first step into Synesthesia—a journey that invites you to see, hear, taste, touch, and feel the world in new and unexpected ways.
