Our Story
Founded in 1944, Palliser Furniture has a long history of innovation. What started as a small business by our founder A.A. DeFehr, selling wooden stools and tables, has evolved into a North American institution, offering custom upholstered furniture in nearly every category, and commercial movie theatre.
In 2014 Encore was born, launching our first recliner commercial movie theater recliner the Encore C1.
The C1 met the specific needs of theatres, including comfort, & ease of serviceability, quickly becoming an industry favorite and pushing Encore to become a market leader in Commercial Theater Seating
