ROOR® Collaborations Explained: Liberty 50G Paul, Mike Fro & the 1130 Series

For three decades, ROOR® has been defined by a singular idea: precision German glasswork, executed without compromise. But some of the most sought-after pieces in the ROOR® catalog come from a different tradition — the collaboration. When ROOR® partners with an outside artist or design house, the result is a limited run where two visual languages meet on borosilicate.

As an authorized ROOR® retailer, we carry these collaboration lines directly from the source. This guide covers the three collaborations collectors ask about most: Liberty 50G Paul, the 1130 series, and Mike Fro.

I. ROOR® x Liberty 50G Paul — The Spring 2026 Collection

The most recent chapter in ROOR® collaboration history belongs to Liberty 50G Paul, whose Spring 2026 collection brings sandblasted artistry to classic ROOR® beaker silhouettes. Sandblasting removes the outer surface of the glass in controlled passes, leaving a frosted, tactile image that becomes part of the vessel itself rather than sitting on top of it.

The centerpiece of the drop is the Purple Beaker “Hummingbird & Butterfly Spring” — a deep purple beaker carrying a sandblasted spring scene of hummingbirds and butterflies, priced at $1,000.

Alongside it sits the “Zig Zag Wig Wag” beaker ($825), a clear-glass piece wrapped in a rhythmic sandblasted pattern and paired with matching accessories.

II. ROOR® x 1130 — Engineering as Art

Where Liberty 50G Paul brings imagery to the glass, the ROOR® x 1130 series is a collaboration of engineering. These pieces pair ROOR® construction with dual-chamber designs, enclosed percolation, and signature color accents in green and pink.

The line spans a full range of formats: the Straight in Green and Pink ($638), the Beaker in Green and Pink ($771), the compact Mini Beaker ($518), and the Beaker Green Ultimate Collectors Set ($1,215) with its full complement of interchangeable attachments.

For collectors who value function as much as form, the 1130 series represents the most technically ambitious collaboration in the current ROOR® lineup.

III. ROOR® x Mike Fro — The Archive Chapter

The ROOR® x Mike Fro collaboration brought vibrant, freehand color work to a limited run of collection pieces — each one distinct, each produced in small numbers. The run has since sold through, which is precisely what makes it part of the story: ROOR® collaborations are produced once, and when a line is gone, it moves from the shop floor to the archive.

For collectors, the Mike Fro chapter is a reminder that collaboration pieces reward decisiveness. The pieces that seem plentiful at launch become the ones collectors search for years later.

Why ROOR® Collaborations Hold Value

• Limited production — collaboration runs are finite by design and are not re-issued.
• Artist provenance — each line carries the signature of a named artist or design partner.
• ROOR® construction — the same borosilicate standards and craftsmanship as the core catalog.
• Authorized sourcing — provenance matters most on limited pieces, where counterfeits concentrate. Buying from an authorized retailer protects the value of the piece.
