CinemaNext, Europe's leading cinema exhibition services provider, has completed the installation of premium Ezcaray seating at Stadtkino Grein in Upper Austria, enhancing the moviegoing experience while preserving the special charm of this cinema dating back to 1960.
The installation features 140 Ezcaray Principe seats, finished in luxurious burgundy velvet upholstery that complements the cinema's traditional aesthetic. Each seat combines modern comfort with elegant design, featuring fully upholstered tip-up seats, partially varnished beech plywood backrests, and embroidered seat numbering.
Christof Federle, General Manager of CinemaNext Austria, explains: "This installation perfectly represents our commitment to helping independent cinemas maintain their unique character while upgrading to modern comfort standards. The Stadtkino Grein is a cultural landmark in the Perg district, and these premium seats will ensure audiences can enjoy both blockbusters and arthouse films in supreme comfort."
The Stadtkino Grein, operated by Horst Rohrstorfer, stands as one of only two independent cinemas in the Perg district. With its high ceilings, curtains, and plush decor, it has maintained the classic cinema atmosphere of the 1960s while keeping pace with modern technical standards. The venue is known for its carefully curated programming that balances major releases with arthouse selections, serving as a vital cultural gateway for the local community.
Horst Rohrstorfer, who runs the Stadtkino Grein, commented: "We strive to create an experience that goes beyond just watching a film - it's about preserving the magic of cinema while ensuring our guests enjoy modern comfort. These new seats perfectly balance our classic atmosphere with contemporary luxury, allowing us to continue our tradition of personalised cinema experiences."
The installation includes new row numbering systems and maintains the intimate atmosphere that allows the Stadtkino Grein to continue its tradition of cinema services with their special personal touch.
