Cornwall fires the imagination. It has for a long time. From the famous St Ives and Newlyn schools of artists drawn here for the space, clarity and special quality of the light in the late 19th century to the pioneering inventions of the great industrial age that were exported across the world and shape the way we live today (including steam engine technology – developed here 28 years before Stephenson’s Rocket – communications technology, tin cans and gas lighting in houses).

In the 21st century, Cornwall is once again making its mark nationally and internationally as a leader in sustainable design, green technologies and renewable energy. It also has a thriving creative community, with the highest number of art, design and media practitioners outside London.

Cornwall is also about enjoyment – people come here to relax and savour the best things in life; stunning scenery, fresh air, fantastic food and the infinite charms of the great outdoors. Life in Cornwall beats to a rhythm of its own, and MARK’s range captures this for you.
