Complex Process

An artistic celebration of the minutiae, the throwaway and the ephemeral.

Do good things

Words by Jamie Crocker Growing food, telling stories, rethinking life from the soil up. The first thing Seth and Poppy did when they achieved what they had been working towards for years was admit, rather awkwardly, that they did not enjoy it. After a decade building a film production company, after the long shoots, the pitching, the scramble for the right clients and the right briefs, they arrived at a project that, on paper, ticked every box. It was the kind of commission t

For more than two decades, Uneeka has built its reputation on a clear-eyed approach to design and making. The independent Cornish company curates furniture with a strong point of view, favouring considered design and responsible production over short-lived trends. As the business has grown, it has kept its supplier relationships direct and personal, working with trusted partners in the UK and overseas who share its commitment to integrity and sustainability. That commitment was reinforced recently when director Jodi Skelton travelled to Jaipur to spend time with one of Uneeka’s newest workshop partners. As Jodi explains, “Working directly with these craftsmen allows us to maintain the human touch in every design while ensuring ethical practices and sustainable choices remain central to our work. Our Jaipur partners have a story shaped by generations of making, it’s great to work with another family business.” On the factory floor, among sawdust and hand tools, the emphasis was not o

Greg Ramsden recently celebrated being elected to the Royal Society of Marine Artists. It is an honour he has earned through two decades of painting the marine environment and the communities and working histories that surround it. “The RSMA is built around artists who live with the sea, not just those who paint it,” he says, “so becoming a member feels like a ho

Litigation with clarity

Words by Jamie Crocker Practical, client-led representation across complex civil litigation. In a legal market where many firms still operate according to inherited patterns, Stutt Associates has chosen a narrower, more exacting path. The practice deals exclusively with civil disputes. From the outset, its lawyers have focused on contentious matters, building depth through repetition and experience rather than dilution across multiple departments. Central to the firm’s approa

The enduring call

Words by Jamie Crocker An island hotel that encourages a feeling of being a world away. Twenty-eight miles beyond mainland Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly form an outpost that feels sagaciously removed from the daily rush of the United Kingdom. The archipelago, unwilling to advertise its presence too much, lies low in the Atlantic, a scatter of islands and rocky outcrops surrounded by water that often carries a colour more usually associated with warmer latitudes. Boats crisscr

An island hotel that encourages a feeling of being a world away.

gyllyngvase beach in Falmouth, next to the St Michaels resort

A point of equilibrium

If you’re seeking a place that consistently delivers beyond expectation, then go no further than St Michaels Resort in Falmouth. Turquoise blue water glitters for miles until it is ruled off by a hard, straight horizon, supporting ships waiting to enter Falmouth harbour. Gyllyngvase Beach, running round like a pale-yellow bow, sits beneath the point where I am standing on Cliff Road.

Old Lanwarnick, Countryside retreat in North Cornwall

Extending the appeal

Cornwall holiday cottages now offer guests connective experiences. Old Lanwarnick has long been recognised for offering family oriented, dog-friendly accommodation that allows visitors to explore Cornwall beyond the usual tourist routes. Its story began in 1086, though its roots likely reach back further still. The estate earned its first mention in the Domesday Book – England’s pioneering census, commissioned by William the Conqueror to document the nation’s wealth.

The Royal Castle Dartmouth, St Austell Brewery, View from the Restaurant across the Harbour

Heritage by the sea

It is something that cannot be bought, but is earned through consistency and time. Asteadfast business in the South West, independent and family-run St Austell Brewery has stood the test of time since 1851. From humble beginnings as a supplier of wines and spirits, St Austell Brewery has grown into an award-winning business spanning pubs, brewing and drinks wholesale, continually championing hospitality.

Megizzy Holiday Home in Polzeath, Cornwall - John Bray Cornish Holidays

Built upon trust

It is something that cannot be bought, but is earned through consistency and time. John Bray Cornish Holidays has been a trusted name in North Cornwall for over five decades, offering a truly local and personalised service that’s hard to match. With offices in both Rock and Port Isaac, their team lives and breathes the area, and therefore they are a willing component of the community. We take a closer look to find out how they achieve this.

A curated portfolio

From snug shepherd huts to cosy country cottages, via relaxing retreats by the coast, an inviting array of holiday properties stands ready to be discovered. If the draw of the west has already caught you in its thrall, then Cornwall and Devon Hideaways should be the lifeline that you reach for to ensure that your stay in one of these two wonderful counties is near perfect.

A sense of personality

Old-world charm meets modern luxury at one of Cornwall’s most enduring hotels. More than just a place to stay while visiting Cornwall, the Penventon offers an escape from the everyday, it’s a place where Georgian glamour marries contemporary elegance, dedicated to creating extraordinary experiences that blend the richness of the past with the comfort of the present; where artisanal dining and theatrical drinks come together with genuine hospitality and hard to match service.
