He worked for the Hagenauer and Bakalowits brands, before setting up his own studio in 1948. He is known for his futuristic lighting fixtures, often in the shape of spheres or drops, as well as for his mirrors and sculptures. His creations are characterized by an inventive use of materials, notably glass, metal and plastic. Emil Stejnar won several awards for his work, including the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale in 1954.
