Custom theater seating built to order in California since 1935. Regent5 designs Fortress seating into dedicated theaters and media rooms across the San Francisco Bay Area, with sightlines, risers, and acoustics engineered as one room.
Fortress Seating has manufactured custom theater and media room furniture near Los Angeles since 1935, and it remains the brand custom integrators specify when off the shelf is not the answer. Every chair is built to order: more than thirty models, hundreds of configurations, and genuine customization down to seat width and dimensions, leather and fabric selection, storage arms, tray tables, cup holders, and motorized recline. Because Fortress draws on decades of commercial seating work, the frames and mechanisms are built for daily use over decades, not showroom years. When a room needs fifteen seats where a catalog would fit thirteen, Fortress builds to the room.
In a dedicated theater, seating is an engineering input, not a furniture decision made at the end. Seat height and recline geometry set the sightlines, row spacing sets the riser dimensions, and the chairs themselves affect the room's acoustics. Regent5 designs Fortress seating into the theater from the first drawing, coordinated with the projection geometry, the acoustic treatment, and the lighting plan, so the finished room performs the way the design promised. In media rooms and living spaces, Fortress sectionals and loungers bring the same build quality to rooms that serve more than movie night.
Model, configuration, materials, and accessories are chosen during the theater design process, where the seating decisions and the room decisions inform each other. We handle the specification, ordering, delivery coordination, and installation as part of the theater build, and the seating arrives integrated with the room's power, lighting, and control.

Genuinely custom. Fortress builds every order from scratch in California, which is why seat widths, dimensions, materials, and accessories can be specified to the room rather than chosen from fixed options. That flexibility is often the difference between the seat count a room deserves and the one a catalog allows.
Complete theaters are the core of our work: projection, screen, audio, acoustics, lighting, control, and seating designed as one room. We specify Fortress seating within that design. If your theater already exists, seating is addressed as part of an assessment of the room as a whole.
During the design process, alongside the room decisions. Model selection follows the room's dimensions and use, and materials follow the interior design, with leather and fabric options broad enough to match what your designer intends. We coordinate the specification and the ordering as part of the project.
Yes. Fortress builds sectionals, loungers, and media room furniture with the same made to order construction, which suits family rooms and multi purpose spaces where the screen shares the room with the rest of life.
