We love a good partnership at Interiors Addict, especially when it involves two of our favourite brands. Stone Ambassador and al.ive body have collaborated on ‘from surface to scent’ to help you bring the perfect finishing touch to your kitchen or laundry bench or bathroom vanity.
You know what we don’t like? Seeing a gorgeous brand new kitchen with a bottle of Spray ‘n Wipe (no offence) on the bench, or a stunning bathroom with a supermarket pump soap by the tap. Please don’t! And if you’re into interiors like us, you’ll no doubt have seen the explosion in popularity of al.ive body hand soap and kitchen duos and trios in every stylish home ever shot, as well as on The Block. They’re definitely my housewarming gift of choice and the brand former Blockheads and twins Alisa and Lysandra Fraser have built is seriously impressive.
Annalyse Vamvalis, senior marketing coordinator at Stone Ambassador, who make Zenith and Vasari surfaces, says they’re thrilled to now be selling al.ive products in their nationwide showrooms as their exclusive decorative surface supplier.
She explained that teaming up with al.ive is all about helping their customers. “One of the most common questions we’re asked is: “What do you recommend cleaning our benchtop with?” While we have our own crème cleanser for stubborn marks and stains, we wanted to offer our clients a solution that was not only effective but also elevated in design; something that looks just as good as it performs.
“Stone Ambassador is built on principles of elegance, design, and simplicity, which align seamlessly with al.ive’s philosophy of clean, elevated living. Both brands share a passion for creating products that are as thoughtfully designed as they are functional. The al.ive range complements our surfaces beautifully. Their products don’t just sit in a kitchen, bathroom, or laundry; they enhance the overall aesthetic of the space.”
She said the Stone Ambassador team have admired the al.ive founders for some time and have watched their brand grow with innovation and authenticity. “Becoming the exclusive decorative surface supplier of al.ive products makes this collaboration even more meaningful, as it allows us to offer our clients something truly unique; a partnership grounded in shared values of design excellence, innovation, and timeless quality.”
The former Block favourites said: “The truth is, a lot of everyday cleaners and soaps don’t really complement a beautiful space. That’s really why we started al.ive body, because we believe the products you use every day should not only be functional, but also look and smell beautiful. It’s also why we branched out from bathrooms into kitchens. Imagine spending a fortune on a gorgeous new kitchen, only to leave a garish supermarket spray out on the bench? For us, that final detail matters just as much as the big design choices.” We couldn’t agree more!
Alisa adds: “We’re big on wellness and making sure the things we use are non-toxic and designed to elevate the everyday. When everything in our home looks considered, we genuinely feel happier. It’s about creating those little luxuries that make even the most ordinary moments, like washing your hands or wiping down your benches, feel a little bit more elevated.”
And it doesn’t stop with cleaning products, says Lysandra. “Those finishing touches really do transform a space: fresh tea towels, a statement fruit bowl, a beautiful candle or lamp, even a designer dish brush. They’re the details that bring a room together and make it feel like home.”
Stone Ambassador have even created a handy Pairings Guide to help you select the perfect curated combo of surface and scent, whether you prefer earthy, warm or neutral palettes. Easy!
Annalyse says: “We know that choosing surface colours often comes down to personal style and the mood you want to create in your home. To make this process even more inspiring, we’ve developed a Pairings Guide in collaboration with al.ive. The guide matches our benchtop collections whether warm, earthy, or neutral with complementary al.ive product tones. This ensures every client can select a benchtop and then immediately see which al.ive colours will harmonise with it, creating a cohesive and elevated design palette.
“Our showrooms are designed to inspire and every touchpoint is carefully considered to give clients a true sense of how their spaces will look and feel. By integrating al.ive products into our displays, we’re able to show customers how thoughtful styling and finishing touches can transform a surface into a complete lifestyle moment.”
