CDT 'Smyk' Department Store, Modernist department store in Śródmieście district, Warsaw, Poland.

The five-story glass building features rounded corners, horizontal window lines, and a distinctive illuminated facade facing Aleje Jerozolimskie street.

Architects Zbigniew Ihnatowicz and Jerzy Romański designed the building between 1947 and 1948, facing criticism for its modernist style during socialist times.

The structure became a central shopping destination for Warsaw families after 1977, specializing in children's products and maintaining its retail legacy.

Located at Krucza 50, the building underwent renovation in 2018, transforming into Cedet office complex with 7,000 square meters of retail space.

The building contained Poland's first underground parking garage and incorporated special sun protection devices previously unused in Polish architecture.
