IDLE
Vortex Linkages

At the Above presents IDLE.

Create fragrance to dismember ideas of fragrance.  Developed in France. Made in USA. POST PERFUMISTS, Idle wonders, can we formulate new ways to embody, make, feel? At the Above is looking to find out too.  Zen Theory + Sensory Experience + The Aesthetic World = IDLE. IN RESIDENCY + INSTALLATION = ATA PRESENTS. Such equations may be diametrically opposite (forgive us Idle) but we are simply trying to explain reality, nothing, that there is no reality. 

IDLE fragrances reject traditional perfumery’s structures, conventions, trends, and economic compromises. Instead, we craft abstract scent compositions designed to inspire personal and open-ended experiences. Just as an abstract painting invites unrealized potentials, their fragrances ask nothing of their wearer except to engage and explore. They are uncompromising in their intent, offering a new way to connect with and experience the world.

A kinetic sculpture originally designed by Paul Schatz in 1929. Constructed from 8 segments of stainless steel, the object flexes and rotates in pleasing ways in addition to creating interesting desktop sculptural forms.

From the original production run box: "I am extremely enthusiastic about the Octyflex." – Buckminster Fuller
