BY DESIGN - JAIMIE CHEW

Text Box: A bright new face on the tabletop scene, Jaimie Chew couples a brash confidence with fresh creativity for her self-named new brand, J. Chew Porcelain. Eager to tap her peer group for her dinnerware collections – ambitious and educated professionals who appreciate the finer things in life – Chew draws on a strong familial lineage in her East meets West designs for what she calls a ‘Revolution in Porcelain’.
 

Contradictions – this appears to be a company founded on them. Elegant and delicate designs made from the strongest Limoges. Traditional motifs morph with contemporary shapes and colors. An operation founded by a 31-year-old modern American woman sustained in the heritage of her family’s Malaysian roots. A fusion of East meeting West and past infusing present. It’s a balance that well suits Jaimie Chew as she tells her cultural and personal narrative in a new line of dinnerware under the banner J. Chew Porcelain. “I saw a need for a different type of fine porcelain company, a more personalized and revolutionary one,” says Chew. “One that thinks outside the box.”
