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 Quilted 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. Helen V.Verified owner
    Berwick, VIC · Amber hide

    Chuffed with it. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions.

  2. Cameron K.Verified owner
    Launceston, TAS · Golden Tan hide

    best furniture purchase we have made. the texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted

  3. Georgia M.Verified owner
    Werribee, VIC · Golden Tan hide

    No complaints at all. The stitching is straight the whole way round.

  4. Cameron W.Verified owner
    Ainslie, ACT · Chestnut hide

    genuinely impressed. you can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. the ribbing traps dust in the grooves so it wants a brush attachment weekly. would recommend

  5. Stuart S.Verified owner
    Fremantle, WA · Amber hide

    A lovely thing. The ribbing traps dust in the grooves so it wants a brush attachment weekly.

  6. Michelle G.
    Dubbo, NSW · Rust hide

    No complaints at all. The texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. Very pleased with the whole thing.

  7. Ed T.Verified owner
    Launceston, TAS · Chestnut hide

    Nice chair, well made. Slightly narrower than the standard Havana armchair which I didn't realise until it arrived. Fine for me, might be snug for a bigger bloke.

  8. Fiona D.Verified owner
    Malvern, SA · Caramel hide

    The quilting is beautifully even, which I gather is the hard part. It's a softer look than the plain ribbed one and I think it suits an older house better.

  9. Kate Z.Verified owner
    Tamworth, NSW · Rust hide

    It has completely changed the room. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions.

  10. Stuart K.Verified owner
    Orange, NSW · Chestnut hide

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

  11. Jason G.Verified owner
    Modbury, SA · Golden Tan hide

    worth every cent. the leather has already started to patina on the arms. we got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests. the lead time is long, plan for it. nothing to complain about

  12. Angela K.Verified owner
    Camp Hill, QLD · Amber hide

    Absolutely stunning and the amber hide is a stunner in the afternoon sun. So glad I didn't play it safe with brown.

  13. Damien Z.Verified owner
    Torquay, VIC · Golden Tan hide

    really happy with it. went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate

  14. Nathan H.Verified owner
    Redland Bay, QLD · Golden Tan hide

    Good looking chair and comfortable. Wife picked it, I've ended up in it every night.

  15. Ron Z.Verified owner
    Whyalla, SA · Rust hide

    So glad my wife and I went with this one. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. 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.

  16. Marisol V.Verified owner
    Cabramatta West, NSW · Vintage Tan hide

    Very beautiful chair. The quilting look like a car seat from old times, this is why I like it. Good quality leather also.

  17. Ian R.Verified owner
    Wollongong, NSW · Terracotta hide

    Better than I expected. The ribbing runs across the back, arms and seat, not just the back like the cheap copies. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it.

  18. Josh A.Verified owner
    Blacktown, NSW · Amber hide

    A lovely thing. The cushions have held their shape completely. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.

  19. Neville C.
    Kellyville, NSW · Rust hide

    Worth every cent. It is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy. Cannot fault it. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.

  20. Troy A.
    Bulimba, QLD · Chestnut hide

    could not be happier. the frame does not move at all when you get in and out. we put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now

  21. Alan O.
    Whyalla, SA · Amber hide

    Ten out of ten from us. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. Delivery was on the day they said. Recommend without hesitation.

  22. Dianne McK.Verified owner
    Bendigo, VIC · Chestnut hide

    Rapt with it. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly.
