Trait Design

Trait Design by Stéphanie Mayer is an interior architecture and design studio based in France and Mauritius, serving clients across Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, the Seychelles, and France. Led by interior architect and art director Stéphanie Mayer, the studio specialises in designing and renovating luxury villas and creating interiors for high-end hotels. Its distinctive French Touch combines contemporary French elegance with influences from the Indian Ocean, using local materials, natural light, and carefully chosen finishes to create refined, comfortable, and functional spaces.

Each commission is tailored to the client’s lifestyle, the character of the location, and the project budget. Services include needs analysis, feasibility studies, concept design, technical drawings, moodboards, 3D visualisations, material and furniture selection, and advice on finishes. Trait Design also coordinates with architects, artisans, contractors, and international partners, assists with administrative procedures, and provides project management, budget tracking, and full site supervision. From initial concept to final handover, Stéphanie Mayer offers personalised support and rigorous oversight for bespoke residential and hospitality projects.
