Mauve design’s approach is inspired by the story of one man who invented a colour that changed the world. William Perkin’s discovery unlocked the world of chemistry and lead to ground-breaking developments in science, fashion, photography, medicine, perfume and more.
Before his discovery access to coloured dyes was painstaking and expensive but his new manufactured dye Mauveine opened a door and brought colour to the world in a way that hadn’t been possible before.
