Lívia Zaidan
Form, color and material — the part of an object you feel before you understand it.
Objects for the work that matters.
We design physical products that help you focus and get work done — from the desk you think at to the home you come back to.
(01) — Manifesto
The things around you shape the work you do. So we design fewer, better objects — each carrying one quiet detail that makes the day a little easier. We call that detail the plus one.
The plus one
(02) — The detail
One detail. Every object.
Everything we make carries a single signal-orange detail. It's our signature, and a quiet reminder: good work is built one intentional step at a time.

(03) — Principles
Modernist by conviction. Warm by nature. Rigorous about the rest.
01
Useful first
Every object starts with a problem on a real desk. If it doesn't help you work, it doesn't ship.
02
Honest materials
Materials chosen for how they feel in the hand and how they age over time. Nothing pretending to be something else.
03
Made to stay
Repairable, timeless, quiet. Designed to outlast trends, upgrades and the next five desks you own.
04
The plus one
One considered detail that makes the everyday a little better. Never two. Never zero.
(04) — The studio
One couple. Plus one.
We're Lívia Zaidan and Pedro Ladeira — a designer and an engineer, and a couple who love making things together. Every object starts at our own kitchen table, as one of us plus the other. That's where the name comes from — and why everything we make carries one extra detail: its plus one.
We make objects for people who take their work — and their space — seriously.

Pedro Ladeira
Mechanisms, tolerances and how things are made — the part you rely on without noticing.
(05) — Process
Slow to design. Quick to love.
Five stages, no shortcuts. Every Plus One object goes through the same careful path from first observation to finished piece.
We start at real desks and in real homes — watching how people work, where things pile up and which small frictions break focus.
(06) — Contact
Let's make something together.
Collaborations, press or just a hello — we read every message and reply personally.
