The Havana rolls tan hide into ribbed channels and wraps it in polished aluminium: part cigar lounge, part flight deck. Cold metal, warm leather; the contrast does the talking.

Top-grain hide is cut and built by hand, so allow roughly ±2cm.

Materials & make

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.

Warranty & delivery

3-year warranty on every piece, covering the frame and workmanship.

Commissioned to order, approximately 12 to 14 weeks to build. Delivered Australia-wide.

Frequently asked

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.

How the Havana is made

Built the long way

Top-grain hide on a hardwood frame. Seams stitched by hand, brass set one stud at a time, then oiled back to a sheen.

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

  1. Brian H.Verified owner
    Gympie, QLD · Terracotta hide

    Better than I expected. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.

    Ten out of ten from us. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly.

  3. Susan F.Verified owner
    Geelong, VIC · Chestnut hide

    Really happy with it. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.

  4. Tegan M.Verified owner
    Gawler, SA · Amber hide

    Chuffed with it... The texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely... Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.

  5. Dylan R.Verified owner
    Mandurah, WA · Chestnut hide

    Solid chair, looks great, no complaints.

  6. Graham A.Verified owner
    Wollongong, NSW · Terracotta hide

    A lovely thing. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space.

  7. Emma O.Verified owner
    Rockhampton, QLD · Golden Tan hide

    Genuinely impressed. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. Very pleased with the whole thing.

  8. Damien T.
    Cairns, QLD · Terracotta hide

    delighted with it. the leather has already started to patina on the arms. they took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. waited a bit over three months and it was worth it

  9. Alan V.Verified owner
    Geelong, VIC · Terracotta hide

    Chuffed with it. The hide is top grain and you can see it at the cut edges. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.

  10. Sam P.Verified owner
    Frankston, VIC · Terracotta hide

    Everything we hoped for. The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size. We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. No regrets.

  11. Cooper B.Verified owner
    Camberwell, VIC · Amber hide

    Everything we hoped for. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.

  12. Kylie C.Verified owner
    Mackay, QLD · Amber hide

    Very pleased. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.

  13. Ross McN.Verified owner
    Colac, VIC · Golden Tan hide

    Good chair. Comfortable, well built, looks the part. Nothing more to say really.

  14. Susan G.Verified owner
    Hawthorn, VIC · Amber hide

    Bought a pair. They flank the fireplace and they've completely changed how the room reads. Very happy indeed.

  15. Cameron A.Verified owner
    Ipswich, QLD · Caramel hide

    disappointing, and i had high hopes. quality is not in question, the communication was. the ribbing traps dust in the grooves so it wants a brush attachment weekly. get the swatch book before you order, learn from me

    Rumpus replied

    Appreciate you being straight about it. The freight leg is the weakest part of our chain and we are working on it. Glad the piece itself is up to standard.

  16. Ron L.Verified owner
    Norwood, SA · Golden Tan hide

    Could not be happier. The ribbing runs across the back, arms and seat, not just the back like the cheap copies. Would recommend.

  17. Casey C.Verified owner
    Newcastle, NSW · Chestnut hide

    It has completely changed the room. It is the first sofa we have owned that looks better than the day it arrived. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.

  18. Kylie D.Verified owner
    Traralgon, VIC · Amber hide

    Very pleased. The stitching is straight the whole way round. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.

  19. Vicki H.Verified owner
    Ashgrove, QLD · Caramel hide

    The tan is so much richer in person. Sits in the corner by the window and it's the best seat in the house by a mile.

  20. Gordon A.Verified owner
    Tamworth, NSW · Rust hide

    Really happy with it. The ribbing runs across the back, arms and seat, not just the back like the cheap copies.

  21. Blake H.Verified owner
    Werribee, VIC · Golden Tan hide

    Worth every cent. The stitching is straight the whole way round.

  22. Bruce B.Verified owner
    Coffs Harbour, NSW · Golden Tan hide

    Rapt with it. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. The lead time is long, plan for it. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions.

  23. Keith McD.Verified owner
    Gawler, SA · Caramel hide

    Delighted with it. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.

  24. Shane V.Verified owner
    Doncaster, VIC · Golden Tan hide

    absolutely thrilled. the cushions have held their shape completely

  25. Julie D.Verified owner
    Kellyville, NSW · Amber hide

    Better than I expected. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. Cannot fault it.

  26. Wendy T.Verified owner
    Blacktown, NSW · Terracotta hide

    Very good buy. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.

  27. Jayden K.Verified owner
    Launceston, TAS · Terracotta hide

    Chuffed with it. It feels like it was built by someone who cared. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.

  28. Vicki F.Verified owner
    Orange, NSW · Chestnut hide

    No complaints at all. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. The ribbing traps dust in the grooves so it wants a brush attachment weekly. Nothing to complain about.

  29. Blake C.Verified owner
    Currumbin, QLD · Vintage Tan hide

    Great chair. Only note is the ribbed back doesn't have a lot of lumbar support if you're sitting for hours. A cushion sorts it.

  30. Ted D.Verified owner
    Scarborough, WA · Caramel hide

    Everything we hoped for. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space.

  31. Ling W.Verified owner
    Townsville, QLD · Caramel hide

    Very good quality. The ribbing is very neat. My family is very happy. Delivery was on time, thank you.

  32. Manny T.
    Punchbowl, NSW · Golden Tan hide

    Very good chair, strong and comfortable. The delivery was fast and the man was polite. Recommend.

  33. Julie V.Verified owner
    Preston, VIC · Rust hide

    Really lovely piece. The ribbing runs across the back, arms and seat, not just the back like the cheap copies. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated. Do it. ❤️

  34. Judith N.Verified owner
    Townsville, QLD · Amber hide

    Genuinely impressed. Very happy. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.

  35. Casey Z.
    Bundaberg, QLD · Golden Tan hide

    So glad we went with this one... The seams are done properly, I checked them first.

  36. Ivana B.Verified owner
    Rockdale, NSW · Chestnut hide

    I buy this chair for my father who is 81 years old. He can get in and out easy which was my worry. He says it is the best chair he ever have. Thank you very much for helping me choose.

  37. Dean McK.Verified owner
    Alice Springs, NT · Caramel hide

    no complaints at all. the texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted

  38. Casey C.Verified owner
    Glenelg, SA · Caramel hide

    Delighted with it... The ribbing runs across the back, arms and seat, not just the back like the cheap copies... It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished... Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul.

  39. Emma P.Verified owner
    Buderim, QLD · Terracotta hide

    Best furniture purchase we have made. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions.

  40. Wayne J.
    Mandurah, WA · Terracotta hide

    Very good buy. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar.

  41. Fiona McD.Verified owner
    Launceston, TAS · Terracotta hide

    Really happy with it. The texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. The lead time is long, plan for it. Money well spent.

  42. Michelle Q.Verified owner
    Penrith, NSW · Rust hide

    Rapt with it. It is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night. No regrets.

  43. Helen W.Verified owner
    Sandringham, VIC · Caramel hide

    My husband and I have had it six months now and it has softened beautifully. It was quite firm at the start which surprised us, but a friend who buys leather told us that is exactly what you want.

  44. Louise R.Verified owner
    Sandy Bay, TAS · Caramel hide

    It has completely changed the room. The texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day.

  51. Fiona K.Verified owner
    Parramatta, NSW · Golden Tan hide

    Very good buy. The ribbing runs across the back, arms and seat, not just the back like the cheap copies. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. Would recommend.

  52. Sunita D.Verified owner
    Torquay, VIC · Chestnut hide

    Very beautiful piece. The ribbing is very neat. My wife is very happy with it. Thank you to the team.

  53. Raj O.Verified owner

    Very beautiful piece. The leather is thick and soft. We use it every day. Delivery was on time, thank you.

  54. Alan L.Verified owner

    genuinely impressed. the texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted

  56. Helen E.Verified owner
    Wollongong, NSW · Amber hide

    Genuinely impressed. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. Cannot fault it.

  57. Tracey G.Verified owner
    Kalgoorlie, WA · Chestnut hide

    A lovely thing. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. Recommend without hesitation.

  58. Robyn C.Verified owner
    Joondalup, WA · Amber hide

    Worth every cent. Nothing creaks, which was the thing that put me off the cheaper ones.

  59. Josh K.Verified owner
    Gawler, SA · Caramel hide

    Best furniture purchase we have made. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it.

  60. Emma T.Verified owner

    Really lovely piece. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely. Would buy again.
