Printa x Miksa Róth
Our collection, realized in collaboration with KULT7, pays tribute to the life's work of Miksa Róth. The glass and mosaic artist's creations not only adorn the iconic buildings of Erzsébetváros but have also left a significant mark throughout the country – and even internationally. His name is associated with the stunning stained glass windows and mosaics of the Parliament, the Gresham Palace, the Music Academy, and numerous churches, among others.
Miksa Róth was an exceptionally versatile creator: an artist, applied artist, and entrepreneur all in one. His work simultaneously embodies historicizing views, material experimentation, and modern, progressive thinking. His stained glass paintings and mosaics are not merely decorative elements but independent artworks in which light, color, and material become equally important players.
During the collection's design, Zita Majoros defined three directions, based on research conducted at the Miksa Róth Memorial House and conversations with art historian Dóra Kolocz.
One graphic is named "Sketchbook": it draws inspiration from Róth's historicizing works and the detailed plans made for them, offering insight into the intimate, initial phase of the creative process.
The second direction is the gold mosaic motif, which evokes Miksa Róth's experiments with gold – those radiant surfaces where the noble material becomes a light-bearer in mosaic form.
The third graphic world stems from the stained glass windows, which are perhaps his most famous and iconic creations: simultaneously functional architectural elements and autonomous artworks.
In this collaboration, Miksa Róth is not just a source of inspiration for us, but also a framework for thought: how can tradition be translated into a contemporary language, how can applied art become timeless, and how can a life's work continue to live on in today's material culture.
The collection is related to the SHINE – Róth160 // Contemporary reflections on Miksa Róth's legacy exhibition, which can be viewed at the Kult 7 gallery until January 23, 2026.
The collection is produced in a limited edition and is available exclusively at Printa, the KULT7 Gallery, and the Miksa Róth Memorial House.
