The Tanner is cut generously and stitched honestly: oversized slab cushions in tan top-grain hide, with the seams worn on the outside like a maker's signature.
An armchair and a half, by design. 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 impressed. The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size.

So glad my wife and I went with this one. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.

It has completely changed the room. The feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished.
Really lovely piece. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate.
Perfect chair for our study. Not too bulky, very comfortable, and the tan is warm without being orange.
Great chair. Ordered a second one a month later.
Really lovely piece. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. Delivery was on the day they said.
Clean, low, modern. Sits beautifully and the tan hide is soft straight out of the box rather than needing months to break in.
Very beautiful piece. The clean lines is very neat. My children love it. Delivery was on time, thank you.
Rapt with it. The cushions have held their shape completely.
The quality is very good. The clean lines is very neat. All my relatives ask where I buy it. Thank you to the team.
Very pleased. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. Worth the wait.
Ten out of ten from us. The cushions need squaring up every couple of days. 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.
Very nice chair, beautiful leather. It is low, so for my mother who is 80 it is difficult to stand up. For us it is fine. Just to know before you buy.
Genuinely impressed. The stitching is straight the whole way round. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. The track arm is too narrow to perch on.
It's the only chair in the house that suits both the mid century sideboard and the very not-mid-century dog. Wins all round.
Better than I expected. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. Do it.
Better than I expected. The seams are done properly, I checked them first.
Simple chair, done well. No unnecessary detail. That's why I bought it.
Could not be happier. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.
Really happy with it. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. The track arm is too narrow to perch on.
Chuffed with it. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.
Everything my wife and I hoped for. Nothing creaks, which was the thing that put me off the cheaper ones. The lead time is long, plan for it. Would recommend.
could not be happier. the seat is deep enough to actually lie on. very happy
So glad we went with this one. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job.
Ten out of ten from us. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. Would recommend.
Very good buy... It feels like it was built by someone who cared... Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention... Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted... It is a more upright sit than it looks... Worth the wait.
Exactly what my wife and I wanted. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. Would buy again.
No complaints at all. Do it.
Exactly what we wanted. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Delivery was on the day they said.
Delighted with it. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages.
Best furniture purchase we have made. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. Nothing to complain about.
Absolutely thrilled. It is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. Do it.
Worth every cent. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Recommend without hesitation.
Really happy with it. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it.
Best furniture purchase my wife and I have made. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. Very pleased with the whole thing.
