The Regal Aviator sets deep-buttoned brown hide against panels of riveted, polished aluminium: equal parts members' club and flight deck. Cold metal, warm leather; the contrast does the talking.

Two seats, built for the after-dark hours. Commissioned in your choice of thirty hides, riveted and stitched by hand.

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 Regal Aviator 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. Fiona McD.Verified owner
    Ballarat, VIC · Vintage Tan hide

    Very good buy. The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently.

  2. Robyn McD.Verified owner
    Shepparton, VIC · Charcoal hide

    Really lovely piece. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.

  3. Kylie Z.
    Newcastle, NSW · Black hide

    Everything we hoped for. Would recommend.

  4. Nadia H.Verified owner
    Auburn, NSW · Chestnut hide

    Very good quality and my husband is very happy. He wanted this style long time. The colour is beautiful, more warm than the picture.

  5. Marion A.Verified owner
    Bondi, NSW · Black hide

    Could not be happier. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day.

  6. Steve N.
    Salisbury, SA · Walnut hide

    Good gear. Turned up when they said. Nothing to complain about.

  7. Steph S.Verified owner
    Newcastle, NSW · Espresso hide

    Exactly what we wanted. The seams are done properly, I checked them first.

  8. Tegan D.Verified owner
    Kingston, TAS · Vintage Tan hide

    Could not be happier. It is a genuine statement piece without being a novelty.

  9. Zorica S.Verified owner
    Traralgon, VIC · Vintage Tan hide

    Very beautiful piece. Strong frame, you can feel it is not cheap. We use it every day. Thank you Rumpus.

  10. Alan M.Verified owner
    Joondalup, WA · Chestnut hide

    Absolutely thrilled. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. The lead time is long, plan for it.

  11. Justin M.Verified owner
    Como, WA · Dark Chocolate hide

    Perfect size for the media room. Ordered the two seat because the three wouldn't fit and I have no regrets, it still has presence.

  12. Andrew Z.Verified owner
    Frankston, VIC · Charcoal hide

    very pleased. the rivets are real rivets. the crew rang the day before to confirm, which i appreciated. the metal is cold against your arm in winter. would recommend

  13. Emma J.Verified owner
    Kingston, ACT · Caramel hide

    Really lovely and the alloy detail is beautifully done. Four stars because the seat is quite deep for a two seater and I'm short, so I end up with my feet off the floor. Bought an ottoman to fix it, so problem solved I suppose.

  14. Glenys Z.
    Kingston, TAS · Espresso hide

    Everything my wife and I hoped for. The alloy is proper brushed metal, not a wrap. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.

  15. Ian N.Verified owner
    Ainslie, ACT · Vintage Tan hide

    No complaints at all. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. 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.

  16. Kylie F.Verified owner
    Kingston, TAS · Charcoal hide

    Absolutely thrilled. It smells like a proper leather shop, which I did not expect to care about. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now. Very pleased with the whole thing.

  17. Jaspreet S.Verified owner
    Craigieburn, VIC · Espresso hide

    We are very pleased with this sofa. It is strong and the leather feels expensive. The team answered all my messages very fast, even on Saturday. Recommend to anyone.

  18. Helen McK.Verified owner
    Blacktown, NSW · Chestnut hide

    Delighted with it. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. The alloy shows fingerprints, though it buffs off with a dry cloth.

  19. Susan N.Verified owner
    Torquay, VIC · Charcoal hide

    Better than I expected. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. Delivery was on the day they said.

  20. Casey W.Verified owner
    Ainslie, ACT · Dark Chocolate hide

    Ten out of ten from us. The metal has a satin finish that reads machined rather than polished. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. The lead time is long, plan for it. It is heavier than you can possibly imagine.

  21. Paul F.Verified owner
    Terrigal, NSW · Dark Chocolate hide

    Well made and looks the part. The lead time is long, they tell you that, but it's still a long time to wait when you've sold the old one already. Plan for it.

  22. Stuart H.Verified owner
    Bondi, NSW · Chestnut hide

    so glad we went with this one. the alloy is proper brushed metal, not a wrap

  23. Judith D.Verified owner
    Cairns, QLD · Chestnut hide

    Delighted with it. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly.

  24. Belinda A.Verified owner
    Kellyville, NSW · Chestnut hide

    Genuinely impressed. The back is finished as well as the front, which matters if it floats in a room.

  25. Grant B.Verified owner
    Traralgon, VIC · Vintage Tan hide

    Bought it for the shed. Best thing in there now including the car.

  26. Tegan N.Verified owner
    Coffs Harbour, NSW · Espresso hide

    Genuinely impressed. Do it.

  27. Jodie M.
    Belconnen, ACT · Espresso hide

    Really happy with it. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. No regrets.

  28. Beverley F.Verified owner
    Camberwell, VIC · Dark Chocolate hide

    A lovely thing. It is a genuine statement piece without being a novelty.

  29. Craig G.
    Coffs Harbour, NSW · Chestnut hide

    best furniture purchase we have made. very pleased with the whole thing

  30. Damien E.Verified owner
    Manly, NSW · Chestnut hide

    chuffed with it. the cushions have held their shape completely. bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. no regrets

  31. Stuart McK.Verified owner
    Kingston, TAS · Vintage Tan hide

    worth every cent. the feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted

  32. Vicki G.Verified owner
    Parramatta, NSW · Vintage Tan hide

    Ten out of ten from us. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. The alloy shows fingerprints, though it buffs off with a dry cloth.

  33. Ian H.Verified owner
    Wagga Wagga, NSW · Dark Chocolate hide

    A lovely thing. The alloy is proper brushed metal, not a wrap. 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. Money well spent.

  34. Shane J.Verified owner
    Joondalup, WA · Black hide

    no complaints at all. we replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. the crew rang the day before to confirm, which i appreciated

  35. Ted H.Verified owner
    Ipswich, QLD · Espresso hide

    Chuffed with it. The rivets are real rivets. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. Cannot fault it.

  36. Anna L.Verified owner
    Newcastle, NSW · Chestnut hide

    Best furniture purchase we have made. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. Recommend without hesitation.

  37. Glenn J.Verified owner
    Mandurah, WA · Charcoal hide

    It has completely changed the room. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted. No regrets. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.

  38. Tegan L.Verified owner
    Traralgon, VIC · Chestnut hide

    Not the experience I hoped for. The piece itself is well made, the problem was getting it here. Sort the communication and this is a five star company.

    Rumpus replied

    This is fair and we are not going to argue with it. We have tightened the process at our end and your feedback is the reason.

  39. Alan J.Verified owner
    Applecross, WA · Black hide

    So glad we went with this one. Would buy again.

  40. Craig Z.Verified owner
    Victor Harbor, SA · Black hide

    rapt with it. the rivets are real rivets. went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. very pleased with the whole thing
