Flying Bicycle Round Rug - E.T. Chair Mat

A boy and his small alien friend pedal across a full moon in this E.T. round rug, shown as a black silhouette against a pale, softly mottled lunar disc. The artwork is laid out for the circle: the moon sits dead center, a dark treeline rises beneath it, and a navy-and-cream ornamental frame wraps around the whole scene.

A circle behaves differently from a rectangle on the floor. It softens the hard corners of a square room, anchors a reading nook without needing a matching sofa, and settles beside a bed like a pool of night sky. Used as a round area rug, it can carry a whole corner by itself. Nothing to line up. Just place it and go.

The Design: Moonlight in Ornament

Instead of a plain poster, the artist dressed the famous bike flight in the language of a Persian carpet. Deep midnight blue and warm cream carry most of the color, while brick-red pinstripes and forest-green pines keep the whole thing grounded. Around the moon, ornate arched panels hold small story clues: a red hooded sweatshirt, a potted white flower, a flying saucer, a walkie-talkie, a crescent moon and a tray of peanut butter candy cups. A ring of tiny white bicycles runs along the outer border, so the pedaling never really stops.

Fans of the 1982 film will spot the details one by one. Everyone else sees a tidy, old-world pattern with a moon in the middle. Both readings work.

Flying Bicycle on the Floor

The surface is a soft plush low-pile that feels pleasant under bare feet. Underneath, a non-slip rubber backing grips hard floors such as wood, tile and laminate, so the circle stays where you put it. Every rug is machine washable on a gentle cold cycle, then air-dried. The dye-sublimation print sets the colors into the fibers, which keeps the navy deep and the moon crisp instead of sitting on top like a coating. It makes a fine bedroom rug, with the night sky waiting beside the bed. Slide a smaller size under a desk and it doubles as a chair mat for a movie-fan workspace.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available, from 80 cm (31.5″) up to 180 cm (70.9″): 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 and 180 cm. The 80 and 100 cm rounds suit the space under a desk chair or beside a bed, where the moon and the bike silhouette stay the focus. At 80 cm it also works well as an accent rug by an armchair. The 120 and 140 cm sizes fill a reading nook or a kids' corner nicely. Go to 160 or 180 cm when you want the center of a seating area, and the border of little bicycles becomes a real frame for the furniture.

Standart Level is solid everyday quality. Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing, a sensible pick for busy spots.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and let it air-dry; the moon and border colors are set into the fibers, so the print stays part of the rug.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate, so the rug stays put when you step onto it or pull a chair across the edge.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, it lies flat over low-pile carpet. A night-sky circle over a neutral carpet gives a bedroom corner its own small feature.

Which size should I choose?

Pick 80 or 100 cm for a desk or bedside, 120 or 140 cm for a nook, and 160 or 180 cm to center a seating area. With this much detail in the border, a larger size shows off every little bicycle.
