Why Mauve?
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.

The colour of innovative design

After reading Simon Garfield’s book about Perkin, Rob Langston was inspired to build a design philosophy for Mauve Design that could unlock the potential of his clients. By combining his creativity with a desire to understand their needs and goals his aim is to open doors to new business and growth for those clients.

Mauve Design and Crystal Thought made workable technical suggestions and created a website that I can update very easily. I would recommend them to anyone who asks my opinion and I would definitely work with both Agencies again.”

I have worked with Rob on some of the largest and some of the smallest projects. He has a good eye for producing solutions that have been highly successful and cost effective. Working with Rob is always a pleasure. He is my first call when I need design input.”
