Contemporary

One of the popular choices of style amongst many designers today. Modern, clean lines, minimalist and neutral colors are the main characteristics of this interior style. This style tends to focus on simple shapes, uncluttered open space and current trends.

Traditional

Antique styling with elegant and graceful shapes, curves and deep colors. This style typically tends to be formal and understated with a focus on classic lines. Furniture in this style tends to be soft, smooth, functional and unfussy.

Thematic

The possibilities are endless! We’ve created some fabulous themed theaters based on The Pirates of the Caribbean and Batman. You’re only limited by your imagination here.

Art Deco

Lastly but not least, reminiscent of the post World War I era, sleek, sophisticated and shiny. Art deco is characterized by geometrical shapes with a focus on creating a lavish and glamorous look.

So, what’s your home theater style? Have a look at our Models & Colors page to custom design your home theater seating to suit your individual style.

Many of the new designs can be seen in person at our new permanent showroom at the Las Vegas Design Center which will officially open on May 2nd. Our new showroom is located in Building A, Showroom 238. The showroom will be open all year round, in addition to the LV Market Winter and Summer trade shows.

Home theaters come in a variety of themes and styles, ranging from modern, high-tech space themes to 1920′s style traditional Art Deco designs. So the goal for our new line of seating was to create designs that merged traditional styling with the modern, contemporary styling that we are known for.

Just some of the various new designs can be seen below. As with all previous models, the various parts of the theater chair such as the Arm and Seat Back can be interactively mixed-and-matched to create a wide variety of unique configurations.

As I type these first few words of our first ever blog post, I can’t help but feel excited at the start of this new journey. It kind of feels like a brand new car as you drive it off the lot for the first time. I’m sure this “vehicle” will allow us to transport a lot of informative, entertaining  and useful content to our readers for many years to come.

My name is Bobby Bala and I’m the founder and CEO of Elite Home Theater Seating. I started the company about 8 years ago and prior to that I worked primarily in the Video Game industry as a 3D Character Modeller and Animator. Since I also had a passion for home theaters, in my spare time, I would design home theater interiors and environments. Within these environments were theater chairs which I also designed.

Around that time as I researched various theatre chair designs for inspiration, I noticed there really wasn’t much out there to be inspired about. All the theater chairs on the market at the time were very overstuffed and poofy, lacked style and didn’t look very ergonomically supportive.

I then focused on designing various theater chairs that were more sleek and sexy. I noticed that some particular parts of one chair design, also looked quite good with other parts from other chairs. I then thought it would be really cool if a customer could somehow interactively build and mix-and-match their own custom chair online.

From there I collaborated with Emiliano Rodriguez who is a very talented website designer and programmer. With his talents and my video game background, we were able to create the first working online Custom Chair Configurator and Elite Home Theater Seating (Elite HTS) was born.

Our first few orders were actually built out of an old abandoned barn with only 3 production staff.  Since then, we have grown considerably and now ship hundreds of theatre seats to various clients all over the world including many famous celebrities and athletes. Our new 10,000 sq ft manufacturing facility is based in Vancouver, Canada.

We primarily specialize in the manufacturing of custom, high-end theater / cinema seating. We do some business in the local area, however 90% of our business is for International clients all over the world.

My main focus for this blog will be to concentrate specifically on the interior design aspects of home theater design and interiors. I will also focus on the home theater experience itself, and of course company announcements and new product releases. Since there are countless home theater related websites that feature the technical aspects of home theater equipment, I thought it would be best if I left that to them and not have it as a primary focus of this blog .

Lastly, we would also love to hear your feedback and comments. This can be feedback based on the specific blog post/topic, or if it is a new product announcement, we would love to hear your comments on how it can be improved for example. For anything off topic or that requires more discretion, please feel free to contact me directly at bbala@elitehts.com
