NewChi is a contemporary Taiwanese white porcelain brand founded by artist Heinrich Wang. Working in white porcelain with translucent glaze fired at 1300°C, the brand brings together Eastern culture, design philosophy, and craftsmanship. NewChi believes that objects are never just objects — they carry culture, meaning, and blessing into everyday life. The collection spans teaware, coffee sets, vases, art objects, and porcelain gifts, suited for personal collecting and meaningful gifting.
Heinrich Wang is the founder of NewChi and a contemporary white porcelain artist who has spent over four decades exploring the relationship between objects, culture, and daily life. He collaborated with the National Palace Museum in Taipei on the Qing Xiang collection, and has been recognized with the EY Entrepreneur Award (Culture & Innovation). He believes that good design goes beyond form — every piece should become a meaningful presence in daily life.
White porcelain is the medium through which Heinrich Wang reinterprets Eastern culture and living. Its translucent glaze captures light and shadow; its pure white surface embodies the aesthetic of restraint and open space that is central to Eastern design. NewChi fires its porcelain at 1300°C, producing a dense, luminous glaze that reveals the quiet texture of the material — making white not just a color, but a design language.
The key differences lie in raw materials and firing temperature. White porcelain is made primarily from kaolin clay and fired at over 1200°C, producing a dense, low-absorbency body with a smooth, refined glaze. Regular ceramics are typically fired at lower temperatures, resulting in a more porous body with higher water absorption. NewChi white porcelain is fired at 1300°C with a translucent glaze — resistant to absorbing odors, and well-suited for teaware and daily use.
Yes. NewChi's works span teaware, vases, art objects, and porcelain boxes — each presented in the brand's signature orange handmade gift box, ready to give without additional wrapping. For a housewarming, consider a vase or sculptural piece; for a promotion or new business, an auspicious art object; for a respected elder or important client, a teaware set carries the most weight.
