The first thing they sit in. It has to be right.
Fortress and Cineak theater seating — the two lines we trust for serious home cinema. Specified by row, configured for the room, integrated with the system that runs the rest of it.
Two brands. Both serious.
Fortress is the American craft answer to home cinema seating — hand-built in California, leather to spec, configurable down to the inch, and engineered with motion mechanisms that hold up to twenty years of use without complaint. They are the seating brand we reach for when the room calls for an editorial, club-leather aesthetic.
Cineak is the European-design choice — sculpted, contemporary, quietly luxurious, and the seating we use when the room wants to read as architecture rather than as a screening room. Both lines are built to the same standard, with the same long-tail of fabric and leather choices.
Designed by the row, not the chair.
A theater is read in rows. We design the seating layout with the screen geometry — the eye-point of each row matched to the screen height, riser depth calibrated so every seat has a clean sightline, aisle clearance that accounts for the door swing and the popcorn run.
For multi-row installs we model the entire room in CAD before a single chair is ordered. Sightline studies, traffic flow, cable management for in-seat USB and motion control. The client sees the room before it exists.
Integrated with the show.
The seats are part of the system. Motion control on a touchpanel, lighting at the seat back, in-seat tactile transducers tied to the LFE feed, USB at every armrest, cup holders that hold the cup steady when the recline kicks in.
Showtime is a single scene — house lights down, sconces dim to amber, screen on, seats recline. End credits roll, the room comes back up gracefully. The seats are a finished part of the install, not an afterthought.
Seating installs we have completed.
