The Coburn keeps its counsel: clean slab lines, espresso top-grain hide, and not a button in sight. Minimal on the outside, deep and slow to sit in.
For the room that prefers understatement. Commissioned in your choice of thirty hides.
Top-grain hide is cut and built by hand, so allow roughly ±2cm.
Hide sourced from Australia, Brazil and Argentina, hand-cut and set over a kiln-dried hardwood frame. The same leather covers every surface of the piece, front and back. Built to patina and to last.
The frame. Solid hardwood, mortise-and-tenon joints with corner blocks, kiln-dried to 8 to 12 per cent moisture before a single cut.
Seat suspension. Serpentine sinuous springs across the seat base, over a non-woven fabric support, under high-resilience seat foam at 35 to 40kg per cubic metre. It is the arrangement that keeps a seat stable and holds its shape over years rather than seasons.
3-year warranty on every piece, covering the frame and workmanship.
Commissioned to order, approximately 12 to 14 weeks to build. Delivered Australia-wide.
Who is Rumpus?
Rumpus is the leather-furniture house of A Man & His Cave, an Australian business established in 2020. Six years on, we design and commission top-grain leather lounges and chairs, built to order and backed by Australian support experts who know this range inside out.
Is my piece covered by warranty?
Yes. Every Rumpus piece carries a 3-year warranty covering the frame and workmanship.
Can I get a custom size?
Catalogue pieces are built on fixed tooling, so the dimensions listed are the dimensions of the piece. A custom size is a one-off design build with a design fee from $800, priced per piece. Call us on +61 2 7248 6718 for an exact number.
Are these made to order?
Yes. Each piece is commissioned in the hide you choose and built for your room, roughly 12 to 14 weeks from order.
Can I see the leather before I buy?
Book a call and a specialist will walk you through how each hide looks and wears, and can send photographs of the exact leather in natural light.
Where do you deliver?
Australia-wide. Pop your postcode into the delivery estimate above for a rate on this piece.
How do I care for top-grain leather?
Wipe with a dry cloth, condition it every few months and keep it out of direct sun. Top-grain hide is meant to patina and only gets better with age.

Nothing about it is quick. That is rather the point.

A lovely thing. It is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. Very pleased with the whole thing.

very pleased. went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. it is a more upright sit than it looks. nothing to complain about

Really lovely piece. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. Very pleased with the whole thing.

Sofa is lovely. But we're on the second floor of a walk-up and the crew that came weren't set up for it, so it took two attempts and an extra fee that wasn't flagged at checkout. If you're not on the ground floor, ring them before you order and get it in writing.

Georgia, you're right that stair access should be a question we ask at checkout rather than something you discover on delivery day. We've added it to the delivery quote step so the fee is visible before you pay, not after.
Really good sofa. The cushions do need plumping and squaring up every couple of days or it starts to look slouchy. Comes with the territory on this shape.

Best furniture purchase my wife and I have made. We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests.

Very pleased. The hide is top grain and you can see it at the cut edges. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. The cushions need squaring up every couple of days.

Delighted with it. It is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
Six months in and the seat cushion covers have stretched enough that they wrinkle badly when you get up. I understand leather relaxes but this looks untidy rather than lived in. Waiting to hear back about whether they can be taken in.

Naomi, wrinkling on a slab cushion is normal to a point and what you've described is past it. We've booked our upholsterer to look at yours at our cost. If they need recovering we'll recover them.
A lovely thing. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it.
Most sofas in this shape are fabric or that split-leather-plus-vinyl mix that peels in three years. Getting a top grain hide on a clean modern slab profile is surprisingly hard to find. The espresso is nearly black and the seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Very pleased.
Really happy with it. The hide is thick, not the thin stuff you get on the chain store versions.
Worth every cent. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. Would buy again.
We wanted something contemporary that wouldn't date and this is it. Very happy with the espresso, it goes with everything.
Rapt with it. The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated. The lead time is long, plan for it.
Really happy with it. The seams are done properly, I checked them first.
Genuinely impressed. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out.
Exactly what we wanted. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. Would recommend.
Clean lines, no buttons, no fuss. It's the antidote to the chesterfields and I love it.
Absolutely thrilled. It is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy.
So glad we went with this one. It is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find.
Chuffed with it. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. The cushions need squaring up every couple of days.
Better than I expected. It is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. Recommend without hesitation.
Better than I expected... It is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy... Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed... Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.
Could not be happier. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated.
No complaints at all. Nothing to complain about.
exactly what we wanted. the track arm is too narrow to perch on. money well spent
Worth every cent. The stitching is straight the whole way round. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
Deep, comfortable and it looks expensive. Best sofa I've owned.

It has completely changed the room. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on.
Really lovely piece. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job.
Very comfortable sofa, we sit here all evening. The leather is soft. Delivery was on time and the men were very good. Thank you.
Chuffed with it. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job.
Genuinely impressed. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now.
Best furniture purchase we have made. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick.
Very pleased. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly. The lead time is long, plan for it. The track arm is too narrow to perch on. Worth the wait.
Wanted to love it. Quality is not in question, the communication was. Three stars is for the whole experience, not the product.
Comfy as. Whole family fights over the corner spot.
Very pleased. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently.
Really lovely piece. It is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
Everything we hoped for. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night. Very happy.
Ten out of ten from us. It feels like it was built by someone who cared. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests.
Very good buy. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.
A lovely thing. The cushions have held their shape completely. 🙌

No complaints at all. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. Would buy again.
Rapt with it. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. Very pleased with the whole thing.

Good quality and good price. The clean lines is very neat. My children love it. Thank you to the team.
Sorry about this one. We should have called you rather than leaving you to chase us. That is on us and it has changed.
exactly what we wanted. the colour is richer in person than any photo manages. sits in the study and it is where i end up every night. the lead time is long, plan for it
Genuinely impressed. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens.
No complaints at all. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Do it.
Absolutely thrilled. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. The lead time is long, plan for it.
Chuffed with it. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.
genuinely impressed. nothing creaks, which was the thing that put me off the cheaper ones
Really happy with it. The track arm is too narrow to perch on. Would recommend.
Very good buy. It does not date the way a fussier piece would.
So glad my wife and I went with this one. The stitching is straight the whole way round. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted. Would recommend.
Chuffed with it. The feet are solid timber, not plastic caps.
Could not be happier... Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention... Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
