The Monte's armchair: ribbed leather, a generous single seat, and nothing it doesn't need.
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.

Very good quality. Very comfortable for sitting long time. We use it every day. Delivery was on time, thank you.

A lovely thing. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. The lead time is long, plan for it. Do it. ❤️

Great chair. The rust reads more orange in daylight than the photos, so make sure you're okay with that. I am, but it took a day.
Better than I expected. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished.
The rust hide is the standout in the whole range for me. It's not a colour anyone else is doing and it looks incredible against a dark wall.
Everything we hoped for. The seams are done properly, I checked them first.
Genuinely impressed. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth.
Exactly what we wanted. The stitching is straight the whole way round. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions. Do it. ❤️
Good solid chair, comfortable, and different to everything else out there.
Really happy with it. It is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. Would buy again.
Could not be happier. Delivery was on the day they said.
Really lovely piece. No regrets.
The ribbing plus that burnt orange is such a specific, confident look. Very happy I didn't play it safe.
Very pleased. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions.
Beautiful. Sits in the bay window and glows in the afternoon light.
Very good buy. The lead time is long, plan for it.
exactly what we wanted. the texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. we replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. money well spent
really happy with it. bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed
Very beautiful chair and comfortable also. My wife say the colour is too much but I like it very much. Good quality leather.
Absolutely thrilled. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. Very happy.
Best furniture purchase we have made... The back is finished as well as the front, which matters if it floats in a room... It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished... Would recommend.
Chuffed with it. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.
Very good buy. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely. The ribbing traps dust in the grooves so it wants a brush attachment weekly. Money well spent.
Very nice chair, the ribbing is very neat and even. I am very happy with the quality for this price.
It has completely changed the room. Delivery was on the day they said.
Exactly what my wife and I wanted. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.
Very pleased. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Would buy again. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
A lovely thing. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
Everything we hoped for. 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. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. The lead time is long, plan for it.
Absolutely thrilled. The cushions have held their shape completely. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. Worth the wait.
Really lovely piece. The ribbing traps dust in the grooves so it wants a brush attachment weekly. Worth the wait.
no complaints at all. the ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate
Genuinely impressed. The stitching is straight the whole way round.
Rapt with it. The texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely.
Chuffed with it. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth.
Could not be happier. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens.
So glad we went with this one... Nothing creaks, which was the thing that put me off the cheaper ones... Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night... The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it... Very pleased with the whole thing.
Best furniture purchase we have made... It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless... Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted... Worth the wait.
Delighted with it. The hide is top grain and you can see it at the cut edges. We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests.
very good buy. it feels like it was built by someone who cared. it replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. no regrets
