Dos Riberas, Spanish for “twin river banks”, is the story of a Uruguayan who crossed the River Plate and moved to Argentina. In Dos Riberas, the culture and traditions of both sides of the river serve to join two other banks: those of craft and technology, which become seamlessly complementary in this undertaking. Dos Riberas’ launch was held in Buenos Aires in 2002. Progressively, it was turned into a workshop where objects and accessories for garment use and for indoor decoration are both designed and manufactured. At present, our collection includes jewelry and decoration objects, as well as pieces of art. Dos Riberas’ style stresses joy and a playful attitude, striving for elegance and unstructured sophistication and always keeping in mind that it is the wearer who finally gives our objects their final shape and soul.

Diana Schimmel, Dos Riberas’ founder, belongs to a French family and was born in Montevideo, Uruguay. She graduated as an architect in Buenos Aires, exerting her profession both in Argentina and Uruguay and also teaching at Buenos Aires Architecture and City Planning School. In 2001, she got involved in art related objects, her second passion. Her first developments were inspired in her motto “from art to the object”, bringing together art and artisan-like mass production.

Dos Riberas is a small team designing and leading other teams of draftsmen, silversmiths, artists, ceramics sculptors, textile manufacturers, printers, metalworkers and carpenters in the quest to combine a diversity of materials into beautiful objects. This teamwork keeps enriching the products. The team insists on giving a different meaning to daily materials, in enhancing their aesthetic potential, in trying different and innovative combinations and searching for new materials. Therefore, Dos Riberas’ collections always offer a wide variety of proposals, each of them in its most suitable material.
