The Mayfair floats deep-buttoned black hide on a curved band of polished brass: the members' club, distilled.
Two seats of after-dark polish. 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.
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.

really lovely piece. the buttoning is all done by hand and it shows. the rolled arms take up more width than you would think

Good sofa. Black shows dust badly in a room with a lot of light. Nothing wrong with the sofa, just be ready to wipe it more than you'd think.

No complaints at all. Money well spent. 🙌
Perfect scale for an apartment. Black leather, brass studs, and it doesn't eat the room the way a three seater would have.
Really happy with it. The tufting is even right across the back. 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. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.
Very pleased. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick.
Really lovely piece. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. Nothing to complain about. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
Rapt with it. Delivery was on the day they said.
So glad we went with this one... We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests... Nothing to complain about.
Elegant and beautifully finished. It has completely changed the front room.
Best furniture purchase we have made. The tufting is even right across the back. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it.
Very good buy. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests.
Very well made, and the buttoning and studding are both perfectly even. Impressive at this money.
Very good. Arrived on schedule and it's exactly as described.
Wanted to love it. It arrived later than quoted and nobody rang to tell me. I would still buy it, I would just go in with clearer expectations.
Thanks for taking the time, and sorry it landed short of what we promised. We have changed how we confirm delivery days because of feedback like yours.
Very good quality. The leather is thick and soft. We use it every day. Delivery was on time, thank you.
Genuinely impressed. It smells like a proper leather shop, which I did not expect to care about.
Very nice sofa, black leather is very elegant. My husband choose it and I was not sure but now I love it.
So glad we went with this one. The hide is thick, not the thin stuff you get on the chain store versions. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it.
very pleased. waited a bit over three months and it was worth it
Could not be happier. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely.
Really happy with it. The seams are done properly, I checked them first. Money well spent.
Very beautiful piece. The deep buttoning is very neat. My children love it. Thank you Rumpus.
A lovely thing. The tufting is even right across the back.
Delighted with it. The studs are set flush, no rough edges. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. The buttoning does collect crumbs, you need the vacuum nozzle now and then. 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.
Really lovely piece. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night. Would recommend.
Ten out of ten from us. Would recommend.
Very good buy. The cushions have held their shape completely. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since.
better than i expected. it is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. very happy
Absolutely thrilled... The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size.
Everything we hoped for. The studs are set flush, no rough edges. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted. Do it.
it has completely changed the room. it has that proper club look without feeling stuffy. it replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless
Genuinely impressed. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. 😍
Everything my wife and I hoped for. We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests.
Delighted with it. The tufting is even right across the back. Worth the wait.
No complaints at all. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages.
Ten out of ten from us. The studs are set flush, no rough edges. Money well spent.
Absolutely thrilled. It has that proper club look without feeling stuffy. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. No regrets.
Rapt with it... It has softened beautifully over the first couple of months... Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently.
Better than I expected. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless.
