Raphael Ember Round Rug - TMNT Chair Mat

Raphael stands dead center in a wide, ready stance, mask tails flying and a sai in each fist, and this TMNT round rug wraps him in a Persian-carpet medallion of charcoal, crimson and marigold gold. The artwork is laid out for the circle, with ornament spreading outward from his shell to a border of crossed sai and licking flames.

A circle softens the hard corners of a room in a way a rectangle never does. It slides under a desk chair and rolls with the swivel, fills the dead space beside a bed, or anchors a gaming corner where the screen glows after dark.

The Design: Persian Carpet Meets Sewer

Most turtle art goes for comic-book action. This one borrows the language of an heirloom carpet instead, with vine scrollwork, lobed cartouches and a scalloped inner frame, then fills every motif with something from the sewer lair. Pizza slices sit in the upper and lower cartouches. Manhole covers flank him left and right, turtle shells cap the top and bottom, and a knotted red bandana and a hockey mask nod to the cast around him.

The palette stays hot. Deep charcoal holds the field, red lightning bolts and small stars scatter through the vines, and clusters of orange-gold flame rise around Raphael like embers off a rooftop fight. His green skin and yellow plastron are the only cool, bright patch, so your eye lands on him first and wanders the border second.

Raphael on the Floor

The surface is a soft plush low-pile that feels good under bare feet, and the print is dye-sublimation, so the reds and golds are set into the fibers rather than sitting on top. Because the pile is low, a desk chair rolls across it without catching. It makes a sturdy gaming room rug for a console corner or a streaming setup.

A non-slip rubber backing grips hard floors such as wood, tile and laminate, so the rug stays put when you push off from the desk. When it picks up crumbs or pizza grease, this rug is machine washable on a gentle cold cycle, then air-dried.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available, from 80 cm (31.5″) to 180 cm (70.9″). The 80 and 100 cm sizes suit the space under a desk chair or beside a bed, where Raphael can be seen at a glance. At 120 and 140 cm the ornate border has room to breathe in a reading nook or a kids' corner. Go to 160 or 180 cm when you want it as the center of a seating area, with the medallion working like a true carpet.

Two quality levels are offered. Standart Level is solid everyday quality for daily use. Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing for heavy traffic or a rolling chair that sees constant use.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and let it air-dry, and the flames and gold linework keep their color.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate, which matters when Raphael sits under a chair that gets pushed around all day.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, it lies flat over low-pile carpet. The ornamental border stays crisp against the floor beneath it.

Which size should I choose?

Pick 80 to 100 cm for a desk or bedside, 120 to 140 cm for a nook, and 160 to 180 cm if the medallion should be the room's main rug.
