This is a problem. Thankfully, there’s a solution, and it’s full of math.

These coasters will match perfectly with your number lamp and your equation bookshelf, so long as all you care about is, uh, math.

The math coasters, which are available in a variety of classy colors (as pictured above), are sold in sets of five for $22. Numbers are, unfortunately, not included. It’s Etsy, though… if you search long enough, you’ll probably find something to complement your coaster set.

This bookshelf cleverly integrates mathematical symbols into its design.

The equation bookshelf comes from the imagination of estúdio breder. According to the designer, the incorporation of parentheses, square brackets and braces around your books and other tschotchkes isn’t just for show. It’s actually created to help you prioritize the sequence in which you plan on needing them. Put your most significant objects in the parentheses, then work your way out, just like you do when working a math problem.

At this point, it looks like the shelf is just a conceptual design, so we can only hope that the artist decides to produce these. If only I had one of these on my wall, so I could calculate the probability of that happening…
