Des années 20 aux années 80, Charles puis Hugues Steiner ont dirigé une entreprise dynamique et innovante dédiée à l'art du siège. Dans un marché ouvert à la concurrence internationale, ils se sont imposés par des qualités esthétiques et de fabrication au service d'une modernité en perpétuel renouvellement. Les plus grands noms du design leur sont associés : Pierre Guariche, René-Jean Caillette, Michel Mortier, Joseph-André Motte, Tito Agnoli, Kwok Hoï Chan, Pierre Cardin. Certains modèles ont acquis une dimension mythique et sont recherchés autant par les collectionneurs privés que par les musées d'art contemporain.
Mais Steiner ne se réduit pas à quelques noms emblématiques, c'est aussi un atelier de création qui a trouvé force et imagination dans l'anonymat d'un travail d'équipe où Hugues Steiner s'impliquait personnellement jusqu'à signer certaines créations. Ainsi, le modèle Swany, libre variation de chauffeuses modulables à l'infini au gré de l'imagination de chacun, s'est imposé comme le symbole de la modernité telle qu'on pouvait se la représenter au début des années 70.
Ce constant souci d'innovation s'explique aussi par une ouverture systématique aux nouveaux talents. Dans le sillage des idées de René Gabriel et de Marcel Gascoin, les années 50 voient se mettre en place une politique de large diffusion d'un mobilier de qualité accessible au plus grand nombre. Telle est la vocation de l'Atelier de recherche plastique (ARP) qui, malgré sa brièveté, marque profondément le paysage du mobilier de l'époque. Plus tard, des designers confirmés ou de jeunes créateurs extérieurs à la firme, comme Claude Courtecuisse, Jean Dudon, Jacques Famery, livreront des prototypes révolutionnaires promis à un fort impact médiatique, combinant avec virtuosité meuble fonctionnel et meuble-sculpture.
