The Monte runs cognac hide in long ribbed channels, end to end. A cigar sofa in the most literal, most flattering sense.
Built for the slow draw of a long evening. 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.

Genuinely gorgeous. Photos don't capture the texture at all, you need to see it in person or at minimum get the swatches.

very good buy. the ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. would buy again

Genuinely impressed. The ribbing runs across the back, arms and seat, not just the back like the cheap copies. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.
It's the most complimented thing in our house. Beautiful colour and the ribbing gives it real texture.
so glad we went with this one. the ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. they took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. nothing to complain about
very good buy. the back is finished as well as the front, which matters if it floats in a room. delivery was on the day they said. nothing to complain about
Delighted with it. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth.
Really lovely piece. The cushions have held their shape completely.
Chuffed with it. The texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. The lead time is long, plan for it. Do it.
better than i expected. the texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. cannot fault it
The ribbing runs across the back and the seat cushions, which is what separates this from the cheaper aviator-style copies where only the back is ribbed. Cognac is a hard colour to get right and this one lands warm rather than orange. Frame is solid, no movement at all.
A lovely thing. The hide is top grain and you can see it at the cut edges. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. 😍
absolutely thrilled. it is the first sofa we have owned that looks better than the day it arrived. we put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now. very happy
Rapt with it. Nothing to complain about.
genuinely impressed. it has softened beautifully over the first couple of months. bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted. money well spent
Exactly what we wanted. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. 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. Do it.
Excellent sofa. Deep enough to nap on and it still looks sharp. Rare combination.
Really lovely piece. It feels like it was built by someone who cared. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. Worth the wait.
So glad my wife and I went with this one. The ribbing runs across the back, arms and seat, not just the back like the cheap copies.
Sofa is fine. The blokes who brought it in took a chunk out of the architrave and told me it was already there. It was not. Rumpus paid for the repair once I sent photos, which I'll acknowledge, but I should not have had to argue about it in my own hallway.
Craig, arguing with a customer about damage their own crew caused is the opposite of how this should go. That contractor is no longer on our Melbourne runs. Thanks for sending the photos and for updating us once the repair was done.
Very pleased. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now.
Very pleased. The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size.
Could not be happier. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate.
Absolutely thrilled. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. No regrets.
Better than I expected. The feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated.
Ten out of ten from us. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth.
Ten out of ten from us. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. Worth the wait.
worth every cent. it has softened beautifully over the first couple of months. it went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished
So glad we went with this one. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. Very happy.
Could not be happier. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick.
Lovely lounge. The ribbed sections do need a vacuum in the grooves every week or so. Small price for how good it looks.
it has completely changed the room. the texture is the whole thing, photos flatten it completely. bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently
Better than I expected. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space.
We are very pleased with it. My husband is 79 and finds it easy to get out of, which not all deep sofas are.
Very nice sofa. The ribbing is very neat. We use it every day. Thank you Rumpus.
it has completely changed the room. went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. the twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. money well spent
Very good sofa, strong and comfortable. I check the frame myself, it is proper timber. Very happy with this purchase.
Delighted with it. It feels like it was built by someone who cared. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions. Very pleased with the whole thing. 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 feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. Do it.
Chuffed with it. It is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy.
Ten out of ten from us. 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. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. Delivery was on the day they said.
very good buy. we put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now
Worth every cent. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages. The ribbed back has not got much lumbar support for long sessions. No regrets.
Good sofa, good quality leather. Delivery a bit slow but they tell us before. No problem.
Very good buy. The leather has already started to patina on the arms.
Delighted with it. The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size. Delivery was on the day they said. Do it.
Everything my wife and I hoped for. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth.
No complaints at all. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since.
Everything we hoped for. The hide is top grain and you can see it at the cut edges. Nothing to complain about.
Genuinely impressed. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it. The ribbing traps dust in the grooves so it wants a brush attachment weekly.
Very pleased. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests.
Delighted with it. The ribbing catches the light and gives it real depth. 🙌
Rapt with it. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. 😍
better than i expected. took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted. no regrets
everything we hoped for. we got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests. do it
Very beautiful piece. The leather is thick and soft. All my relatives ask where I buy it. Recommend.
No complaints at all... The frame does not move at all when you get in and out... It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space... Would buy again.
