STONEA BY BKF is a boutique-style importer and distributor of luxury natural stone, proudly family-owned and operated. From the heart of Miami to projects across the USA and the Caribbean islands, we bring the world’s most exotic and refined stones straight to your spaces — marble, onyx, quartzite, limestone, travertine, granite, and more — each carefully selected to turn surfaces into timeless statements.
Founded in 2016 by Eileen Alvarez and Alois Valdes, STONEA is the result of a shared passion for natural beauty, exceptional craftsmanship, and a hands-on approach to service.
STONEA is more than a brand — it’s a vision: to elevate design through natural elements that speak for themselves. We travel the globe in search of Earth’s finest offerings, curating a collection of stones and finishes that fuse artistic beauty with functional strength. Our boutique showroom is a reflection of this philosophy, where every slab tells a story and every texture invites creativity.
From serene Nordic palettes to rustic patterns, vintage flair to minimalist elegance, our stones transform both residential and commercial environments. The design possibilities are endless — and so is our commitment to you.
At the heart of STONEA is customer service. We don’t just sell stone; we build relationships. Our BKF family personally oversees each selection, every shipment, and every detail of your experience, offering hands-on, tailored solutions for architects, designers, builders, and homeowners alike. We offer more than materials — we offer a journey from concept to creation.
Welcome to STONEA BY BKF — From Earth to Excellence.
MEET THE FOUNDERS
Eileen, an economist with a Master’s in Macroeconomics and a second major in Foreign Trade and International Relations, is driven by a true passion for helping others. She genuinely enjoys connecting with clients and guiding them to discover materials that resonate with their taste, lifestyle, and needs. Since stepping into the natural stone industry in 2015, she instantly fell in love with its beauty, depth, and connection to the Earth.
Alois, a Business Administration graduate with a major in Finance and a licensed General Contractor specializing in high-end developments, found his purpose in creating extraordinary spaces. His work takes him across the globe in search of rare and exotic stones, combining his expertise in construction with a deep admiration for nature. For him, each trip is not just business — it’s a journey to uncover and bring back the Earth’s most stunning expressions.
But beyond their degrees and business credentials, what truly sets Eileen and Alois apart is their genuine love for what they do.
They dedicate time to personally assist each client, offering thoughtful guidance through every step of the selection process. Whether sourcing a dramatic quartzite for a striking hotel lobby or choosing a calming limestone for a serene home retreat, they’re fully present — in the showroom, at the warehouse, and in conversation — bringing insight, attention, and care to every detail.
Their love for nature is the soul of STONEA. Their passion for this industry is rooted in a deep respect for the raw beauty of the Earth and the boundless creativity it inspires. Each stone they choose is not just a material — it’s a piece of nature’s art, hand-selected to become part of someone’s story, space, and legacy.
