# Aga Blonska Studio presents Nuevo Alta (New Dawn) 3D printed lighting fixture

Aga Blonska Studio presented a revolutionary lighting fixture, Nuevo Alta (New Dawn), at Milan Design Week. This 3D printed light object, made from an innovative bio-based material derived from microbes, is fully biodegradable under all conditions—even on a compost heap. The fixture was developed and printed by the [Dutch innovator 3D Makers Zone](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/3dmz-3d-makers-zone/), which played a crucial role in the technical realization of this sustainable masterpiece. The launch of Nuevo Alta at Euroluce highlights the unique combination of cutting-edge technology, sustainability and visionary design that defines this project.​

![Explore Nuevo Alta, a revolutionary lighting fixture showcased at Milan Design Week, made from fully biodegradable materials.](https://www.voxelmatters.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/New-dawn.jpg)Nuevo Alta is crafted from polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA’s), a family of biopolymers produced by microorganisms through the fermentation of sugars or lipids. Unlike other bio-based materials such as PLA, which degrade only under specific conditions, PHA is fully compostable in any natural environment. This positions the material as a significant step forward in the transition to a circular economy. Haarlem-based 3D Makers Zone is the first to print with a 100% PHA in this refined shape and size.​

Nuevo Alta’s design is inspired by fermentation as a new energy and life source. In nature, leftover food from a final meal remains on the table, providing sustenance for microorganisms. These microorganisms enrich the soil or create new materials like PHA. The lighting symbolizes this cycle of life and reuse, challenging visitors to rethink our relationship with natural processes. The project explores the meaning of the cycle of life and reuse, inspired by the saying, “Nothing in nature dies.” What remains after a final meal offers energy and nourishment to nature, completing the circle of life. In this context, Nuevo Alta poses a thought-provoking question: Who is the "Last Supper" truly for—humankind or nature?​

Her work reflects a profound understanding of circular processes, which she translates into elegant and meaningful designs. Studio Simone van Es, based in Rotterdam, served as the connector, developer, and primary investor of the project. Simone brought the right parties together, oversaw the process,s and ensured the translation of a sustainable vision into a tangible reality. Her studio bridges the gap between design, technology, and sustainable innovation.
