A Collaboration: Lipshop x Dio Horia for Desmos

Experience art in its most spontaneous form. We’ve reimagined the classic vending machine as a portal to contemporary culture. This unique collaboration between Lipshop and Dio Horia Gallery brings the works of six internationally acclaimed artists into your hands—all while supporting a worthwhile or worthy (not vital) cause.

Challenge your luck, use the machine, and start your collection. By making art accessible and collectible, we turn a moment of play into a gesture of profound support for those in need. 100% of profits go towards Desmos Non-Profit Foundation.

Lipshop: The Art of Thoughtful Gifting

Founded in 2023 as a sister to The Wonder Room, Lipshop is a curated gifting destination where beauty meets creativity. We blend international design with exclusive collaborations from Greek artists, offering a unique selection of meaningful, art-driven gifts. More than a store, Lipshop is a community hub known for personalized service and vibrant events that celebrate the joy of discovery.

The Visionary Partner: Dio Horia Gallery

Founded in Mykonos in 2015 and now a permanent fixture in central Athens near the Acropolis Museum, Dio Horia is more than a gallery—it is a “change agent.” Moving beyond the commercial surface of the art world, Dio Horia creates a platform for social dialogue, cultural diversity, and equal opportunity. Through this collaboration, the gallery extends its mission to broaden the reach of contemporary art, using human intimacy and personal narratives to illuminate the collective memory of our time.

The Cause: Desmos Non-Profit Foundation

Founded in 2012, Desmos Non-Profit Foundation works to strengthen the culture of giving in Greece by connecting donors with organizations in need. Acting as a bridge between individuals, corporations, and non-profits, Desmos supports initiatives that address critical social issues such as poverty, education, and social inclusion. With a strong emphasis on transparency and impact, the foundation ensures that every contribution creates meaningful change. Through this collaboration, every purchase from the Mini Art Print Vending Machine directly contributes to empowering communities and supporting those who need it most.

The Collection: Six Unique Voices

1. Elias Kafouros
A master of complex, densely layered compositions. Drawing from cinema, Buddhist mandalas, and internet culture, his work invites a meditative mode of observation amidst our information-saturated world.

2. Aleksandar Todorovic
Merging the sacred with the social. Todorovic uses the visual language of Byzantine icon painting and gold leaf to examine contemporary systems of power, propaganda, and collective belief.

3. Chris Akordalitis
Where mythology meets modern wandering. Akordalitis creates dreamlike, fluid landscapes inhabited by hybrid beings, exploring the persistence of historical memory and the cycle of life.

4. The Callas (Lakis & Aris Ionas)
The spearheads of the Greek DIY movement. Their “meta-punk” aesthetic fuses Mediterranean creativity with traditional craftsmanship, celebrating activism and experimental spirit.

5. Maja Djordjevic
Translating the digital into the tactile. Djordjevic hand-paints pixelated, surreal compositions that explore the isolation and psychological imprint of digital culture and “internet mythology.”

6. Ioanna Pantazopoulou
Reinventing the discarded. Pantazopoulou transforms surplus materials—from vintage jackets to bank notes—into “contemporary monuments” that challenge our relationship with luxury and waste.
