ABOUT THE STUDIO
Trace Design Studio was established in 2012 in Miami, Florida by Renata Lessa-Bastos. The practice is committed to creating homes that not only provide exceptional beauty and comfort, but that also support the well-being of our clients and each member of the household.
This design approach focuses on the needs of each individual, getting an understanding of lifestyle and daily routines, as well as learning the intonations of your personal style to integrate into the unique design of your ideal home.
Our projects merge a modern and minimalistic approach to design inspired by the natural world. We infuse our projects with meaningful materials and artifacts that reflect our client's identity so it becomes a representation of your own definition of 'home'.
We design luxury home interiors for wellness.

CORE VALUES
WELLNESS
Good design can help us heal, connect us back to ourselves, the natural environment and one another.
We design to improve our clients' quality of life and to create homes that support your well-being.
RESPONSIBILITY
Designers have a responsibility and opportunity to not only make the world more beautiful, but also to make it better.
Through each design choice we can help make the world:
More fair.
More inclusive.
More sustainable.
DELIGHT
Although the world has many problems, design also has to create joy - not because we do not see the hardships, but precisely because we do.
So good design should also make your world more beautiful, more comfortable, and perhaps, even a bit more magical.
RENATA LESSA BASTOS
For almost two decades Renata has been designing luxury residential interiors in South Florida. She believes in the power of intentional design to create a sense of harmony, beauty and wellness for her clients and their families.
She designs homes that reflect the client's sense of identity and responds to their needs by incorporating principles of sustainable design and environmental psychology.
Renata is continuously developing meaningful ways to engage with design and objects to bring these insights to her projects.
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, she has spent her formative years in South Florida. When she's not designing, she is researching art and design history.
Renata holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Miami and a Masters in Cultural Heritage Management and Museology from the University of Barcelona.
