Japanese Ofuro Bath Tubs
Breaking News Jennifer Aniston Selects SeaOtter Woodworks to build her Japanese tub!
Alaska wooden tub featured in Architectural Digest
Jennifer Aniston's Beverly Hills' home is this month's cover for the prestigious Architectural Digest magazine, but her choice to replace the "his" section of her double bathroom with a custom tub built in Haines, Alaska is getting top billing. The magazine highlights that, "No longer finding the need for the original his-and-hers
baths, Aniston has turned the 'his' into a spa bath with a soaking tub" built by SeaOtter WoodWorks of Haines, Alaska. SeaOtter WoodWorks crafted the beautiful tub with the famous Hinoki wood that is traditional for Japanese tubs.
"We are very proud to have been selected to provide one of our beautiful tubs for this prestigious project and to be featured in Architectural Digest," offered owner Bill Finlay.
The Japanese ofuro bath elevates the act of bathing to an art form. These traditional deep soaking tubs are known for their beauty, simplicity, aroma, and most importantly, for the role they play in a daily ritual of soaking and steaming away the worries of the day.
