When I sat down with Gabi Wolper, President of Fortress Seating, I expected to hear a straightforward history of a company that builds high-end home theater seating. They do in fact produce some of the most gorgeous cinema seating in the industry, but what I didn’t anticipate was a fascinating journey that eventually led to their becoming a leader in their field of expertise.

This sophisticated and sexy screening room makes a splash with pops of red and gorgeous hand-carved wall panels.

“We put more time into that sectional than anything we’ve ever designed,” Eagle Sentry sales manager Cory Reif recalls. "The client loved it. There really isn't anything Fortress can't do, from custom theater seating to high-end family room sectionals.”

Intended for comfort, the channeled upholstery detail along with the metal plinth base and feet, there is no mistaking this retro look. Available any way you want it… Theater Seating, Club Chairs, or Sofas.

The key to creating exceptional seating for very specific spaces can be summed up in one word….customization.
