Cornwall has a long and significant history of creativity and ingenuity. Dott has tapped into this, building networks and celebrating local design expertise. Dott projects have also brought new skills, new opportunities and new clients into the county.
There is a strong legacy of design and invention in Cornwall, where pioneers such as Trevithick, Murdoch and Davy helped to unleash the industrial age. Dott Cornwall tapped into this spirit of innovation again, but also created new solutions to a range of modern-day social and economic challenges.
Dott Cornwall was all about believing that design can make a positive difference to our lives. Working with world-class designers on a series of high profile projects, we focused on designs that will have lasting benefits to the people of Cornwall by improving issues such as employment, community, transport, health and social care needs. We have helped to shape Cornwall into a better place in which to live, work and play.
Dott Cornwall has put Cornwall on the map as a hub of creativity, raising the profile of Cornish design in local, national and international arenas.
