Inspired by old crime TV, British designer Alex Carpenter's Drop Dead Rug was such a hit at the London Design Festival in 2005 that he took it into production.
Mimicking the shape of "an unfortunate soul which may have come to pass right there on your living room floor with their silhouette remaining as evidence," the throw is a dark red felt with a light grey band running around the edge to depict the chalk line.
It was available at the time for £150 and quickly sold out.
No sign of one anywhere online, alas.
