Big Daddy Guarding Round Rug - BioShock Chair Mat

This BioShock round rug shows a rust-streaked Big Daddy standing guard over a Little Sister, both set inside a deep-sea medallion. The artwork is laid out for the circle: the pair sit in a scalloped center panel while rings of brass helmets, seahorses and glass syringes follow the edge.

A circle frames this scene the way a porthole would. On the floor it softens the corners of a square room, and it settles easily beside a bed or in front of an armchair. Nothing in the composition gets cut off.

The Design: Art Deco Undersea Medallion

The center is all about contrast. The Big Daddy fills the frame in a riveted green-brown suit, his round helmet lit by amber portholes and his drill arm hanging low. Tucked against his leg, the little girl in the red dress holds a syringe, her eyes glowing a faint yellow. Behind them, kelp sways and the silhouettes of art deco towers fade into teal water.

Look outward and the border takes over. Four diving helmets mark the compass points, with nautilus shells, red coral, drill-bit cones and tiny rising bubbles between them. The palette stays in teal, moss green, oxblood and aged brass, with a weathered ink-and-wash texture that suits a drowned city. It reads as one calm, symmetrical piece rather than a busy poster, and that is what sets it apart from the rest of the catalog.

Big Daddy on the Floor

The round cut keeps the medallion intact from every angle in the room. Underfoot you get a soft plush, low-pile surface that feels gentle on bare feet and lies flat over low-pile carpet. A non-slip rubber backing grips hard floors such as wood, tile and laminate, so the rug stays put. When it needs a refresh, it is machine washable on a gentle cold cycle, then air-dry. The dye-sublimation print sets the colors into the fibers, so the teal and brass keep their depth. It makes a natural gaming room rug, and it sits just as happily in a bedroom or a den.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available: 80 cm (31.5″), 100 cm (39.4″), 120 cm (47.2″), 140 cm (55.1″), 160 cm (63″) and 180 cm (70.9″). Under a desk chair, 100 cm works as a chair mat that keeps the Big Daddy and his charge readable at close range. The 80 cm size is a small accent rug for a nightstand or a shelf corner. Step up to 120 or 140 cm for a reading nook or a game corner. At 160 to 180 cm the piece becomes a round area rug that anchors a whole seating area.

Two levels are offered. Standart Level is solid everyday quality. Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Run it on a gentle cold cycle and air-dry it, and the deep teal print stays crisp.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No, the rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate. That matters at a desk setup, where a chair moves across the rug all day.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, as long as the carpet is low-pile. The rug lies flat, and the dark border keeps the edge clean against the floor.

Which size should I choose?

Pick 100 cm for under a chair and 140 cm for a corner, since the center panel needs room to be seen. Go to 160 or 180 cm if the rug is the heart of the room.
