Artera, the premium segment of ALDEX, celebrates an outstanding success in the world of Polish design. In the 15th anniversary edition of the prestigious Must Have 2025 competition, organized by the Łódź Design Festival, two of the brand’s lighting collections were awarded the quality mark, which for years has recognized the most valuable functional design projects.

The jury honored:

FALA – designed by Nikodem Szpunar

BONBON – designed by Mikołaj Nicer (Nicer Design)

This achievement not only highlights Artera’s significance on the Polish design map but also confirms that the combination of high aesthetics, functionality, and artisanal precision produces results appreciated by both experts and users.

The double recognition brings double joy and marks an important moment to express gratitude to everyone who contributes to the brand’s development. Through collaborative effort, collections have been created that illuminate interiors and give them a unique character. This acknowledgment serves as an impetus for the further growth of ALDEX—with even greater passion, attention, and light at the forefront.

The year 2024 brought further successes in ALDEX’s history. Two exceptional lamp models created by acclaimed designers—FALA (by Nikodem Szpunar) and BONBON (by Mikołaj Nicer)—reached the finals of the prestigious Good Design competition.

It was also a period of dynamic market activity for the company, highlighted by its presence at the Warsaw Home Light fair, where the latest collections were showcased, emphasizing the harmony of tradition and modernity in their designs.

The years 2022 and 2023 marked a pivotal period in the company’s history, bringing dynamic growth and strengthening ALDEX’s position in the market. In 2022, new color versions of products were introduced, inspired by the latest design trends. Bold hues and the use of colored glass from the Polish Łużyce Glassworks responded to customers’ demand for original solutions.

The year 2023 opened a new chapter of collaboration with renowned designers. The partnership between Nikodem Szpunar and the Artera brand resulted in the exceptional FALA collection, which innovatively combined modern design with artisanal craftsmanship, confirming the brand’s position at the forefront of Polish design.

In 2020, Ewa and Jakub Dyderski decided to create a premium brand within ALDEX called Artera. Drawing on their parents’ experience, combining a love of light with their own passion and a modern vision for the company, they aim to create lighting that is understood both as a function and as magic. Contemporary forms, colors, and features are developed under the guidance of designers, while the fixtures are entirely manufactured in their own production facility using domestic components.

In 2018, another recognition of the ALDEX brand came with the main award in the Home Zone project, which aims to promote high-quality solutions and services in the architecture, construction, and renovation sectors, as well as in interior design. The award’s jury consists of leading architects and designers of international renown.

In developing their business and rapidly expanding into new domestic and international markets, the company’s owners have always placed people first, prioritizing the careful selection of skilled craftsmen and sales professionals.

In 2004, ALDEX was awarded the prestigious “Reliable Company” Certificate. Such certificates are granted to businesses that uphold values like integrity and social responsibility in their operations.

Aleksander Dyderski ran the company for many years together with his wife Katarzyna, and later alongside his son Jakub and daughter-in-law Ewa, who continue to manage the business today. Over the years, ALDEX has become one of the most recognizable brands both in Poland and abroad, widely regarded as a synonym for high-quality Polish products. For many years, the company exhibited at international trade fairs in Poland, including Światło, Warsaw Home, and Home Decor, as well as abroad at Euroluce and Light & Building.

Numerous awards have recognized the company’s design and quality, which remain the pillars of the brand’s strength. Over time, the company has also received distinctions such as the Fair Play Enterprise and Reliable Company titles.

1981 – a pivotal year in the history of Poland, challenging both socially and for the development of entrepreneurship. Despite these difficulties, Aleksander Dyderski, a graduate of the Faculty of Machine Building at Częstochowa University of Technology and a former employee of the Chair of Metal Forming at the same faculty, who also served as head of quality control at the Educational Aids Factory, began – drawing on his scientific experience and the Electro-Mechanical Plant he operated – producing lighting equipment by founding the company PPHU ALDEX.

This venture became his lifelong passion.
