Key ContactsPalliser Furniture has a long history of innovation, in design, materials and function. In the early 1980’s, Palliser’s upholstery division was one of the first in North America to embrace the use of motors in providing unparalleled adjustability in motion furniture. Following the introduction of electric motors to recliners and combined with the development of big-screen TV’s, a trend in home building developed to create a new space in the house: “home theatres”. These new rooms were dedicated to watching movies and sports where friends and family could gather. The introduction of home theatres helped create a whole new category of furniture, Home Theatre Seating.
Palliser soon introduced a complete line of Home Theatre Seating (HTS) providing comfort, adjustability, and modularity to allow the seating to work for virtually any room size or shape. In the decades that followed, Palliser established a reputation for leadership in this growing category by offering a wide variety of styles and options designed to enhance the experiences, as well as a wide range of cover choices including leathers, fabrics, and high-performance polyurethanes in a rainbow of color choices.
In 2008 a large movie circuit introduced the concept of power recliners to the commercial theatre market. This concept proved to be a winning formula. The new power seating combined with the reinvention of concessions to include improved food and beverage quality and choices, in-seat-dining theatres, and even reserved seating was able to counter the declining attendance. The results were a renewed enthusiasm for the theatre experience and a higher average gross sale.
