South Drawn [formerly LUMIL] is the embodiment of considered design, finding its edge in exploring uncharted territory in innovative lighting solutions that enrich, endure and inspire.

Our inspiration is sought off the beaten track, and our adventurous sense of discovery follows us all the way through the design process.

Each piece is thoughtfully refined to the point of obsession, then crafted here in Australia and assembled in our Melbourne based studio. Each and every South Drawn lighting product is an excellent example of truly local Australian design.

The tale of this joint venture starts with Lumil, the successful lighting brand launched by Luke in 2016. With Christian coming on board in 2020, the brothers decided to rebrand the business, incorporating the new partnership and their vision for an experimental lighting studio. And so, South Drawn was born.  

With a portfolio specialising in high-end lighting, Luke’s role in the business is that of Design Director. His exploratory approach to materials is heavily influenced by nature and the creative exploitation of found forms or textures within the natural landscape. 

The duo is well balanced as Christian heads up the production and logistics, working alongside the local artisans and manufacturers who help to create South Drawn’s unique product range. His expertise is best appreciated when observing his approach to rid the chaff and streamline the assembly of each piece. 

Join us on the unfolding adventure — we promise it will be one you’ll keep coming back to.
