About
The Lanternist is the creative collaboration of Melbourne based illustrator and designer Tyson Savanah and his partner Evie. What began as a personal project to illuminate their family’s wetlands and gardens after dark has grown into a glowing collection of over 100 unique lanterns.
Combining Tyson’s background in illustration and industrial design with Evie’s styling and production, The Lanternist brings together elements of sculpture, traditional lantern making, and visual storytelling. The result? Luminous artworks that transform spaces, spark imagination, and celebrate the interplay between nature and light.
From intimate garden trails to large-scale festivals, The Lanternist creates magical experiences through handcrafted, radiant design.
