ABOUT
The Lanternist is the love child of Melbourne based illustrator/designer Tyson Savanah and partner Evie Wittingslow. Born from a desire to enhance the natural beauty of their family wetlands and gardens in the evenings, and growing to include over 80 individual lanterns, The Lanternist was created through Tyson and Evie’s combined skill set of industrial design, illustration, styling and production. The Lanternist blends traditional lantern design, sculpture and illustration to create luminous pieces of art.
