South Drawn is a Melbourne-based lighting design studio creating distinctive, high-end lighting solutions. With a bold creative vision, a deep commitment to craft, and an enduring curiosity for materials and form, we design and manufacture lighting that elevates the spaces it inhabits.

At the heart of South Drawn is a collaborative studio where designers and skilled makers work side by side, exploring new ideas and refining every detail to create lighting that is both innovative and timeless. Each piece is conceived, engineered, and assembled in-house, shaped by our fascination with how materials can be pushed, formed, and finished. We also collaborate with select artisans and specialist manufacturers who share our drive to experiment and extend the possibilities of their craft — bringing rare and highly considered elements into our work.

Founded by brothers Luke and Christian Mills, South Drawn brings together creative direction, technical expertise, and meaningful industry partnerships. Luke, as Design Director, leads the creative and structural development of each piece, while Christian, as Partnerships Director, fosters strong collaborations with architects, designers, and makers to deliver exceptional outcomes.

With a growing portfolio defined by thoughtful design, precision manufacturing, and a spirit of curiosity and collaboration, South Drawn continues to set a new benchmark in Australian lighting.
