The Sundowner is the end of the day, upholstered: honey tan top-grain hide, flared arms, and a seat that meets you halfway.
Two seats for the golden hour and after. 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.

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.

Ten out of ten from us. It has softened beautifully over the first couple of months. Money well spent.

Very good buy. The cushions have held their shape completely.

Ten out of ten from us. ❤️
Really nice sofa. It's a lighter, softer look than the photos suggest, almost a bit rustic. We like it but it wasn't quite what I pictured.
Delighted with it. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
exactly what we wanted. the proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size. delivery was on the day they said. the lead time is long, plan for it. the lighter hide marks more easily than a dark one
Exactly what we wanted. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day.
Genuinely impressed. The stitching is straight the whole way round. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul.
Exactly what we wanted. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. Nothing to complain about.
Absolutely thrilled. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it. Recommend without hesitation.
So glad we went with this one. The light hide warms the whole room up. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. Delivery was on the day they said. Very pleased with the whole thing.
Perfect beach house lounge. Light, warm, and it doesn't feel heavy in a small room.
Very nice sofa. Very comfortable for sitting long time. My children love it. Thank you Rumpus.
Could not be happier... The light hide warms the whole room up.
Lovely thing and the delivery blokes were an absolute credit to the company. Chatted to my husband about the footy for ten minutes.
Everything my wife and I hoped for. It is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted. Worth the wait.
Good sofa, well built, arrived when they said. Comfortable for two.
Very good buy. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages.
best furniture purchase we have made. it is softer and friendlier than the chesterfields, which suits our house. the twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it
Really happy with it. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine.
A lovely thing. The feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. Very happy.
Very good quality. The honey tan is very neat. My wife is very happy with it. Thank you Rumpus.
Very nice sofa and very comfortable. The honey colour make the room look warm. My mother wants same one now.
Very good quality. The honey tan is very neat. My family is very happy. Thank you Rumpus.
Comfy and good looking. Second piece from Rumpus and both have been spot on.
Rapt with it. The cushions have held their shape completely. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. Worth the wait.
Chuffed with it. It is softer and friendlier than the chesterfields, which suits our house. Delivery was on the day they said.
Really lovely piece. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it.
Best furniture purchase we have made. The light hide warms the whole room up.
Chuffed with it... Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention... There is already a slight sheen where we sit, though I like that.
Genuinely impressed. There is already a slight sheen where my wife and I sit, though I like that.
It has completely changed the room. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently.
Very pleased. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. The lead time is long, plan for it. Do it.

a lovely thing. the light hide warms the whole room up. it is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. the crew rang the day before to confirm, which i appreciated. the twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it
Rapt with it. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. Recommend without hesitation. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
so glad we went with this one. sits in the study and it is where i end up every night. the lead time is long, plan for it
Really happy with it. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. Worth the wait.
