Who we are
Our fearless leader Jackson Whitehouse has been making furniture with his family since he was young and continued to do so once he moved to New Orleans after graduating college. We as a team like to revel the union of the functional sculptural piece that is a wooden bathtub and celebrate the physical interaction between that piece and form of the human body. With our select team of professionals, each tub is made with unique care, using only the finest materials and expert craftsmanship to ensure a result that we can both be proud of.
At J.H. Whitehouse Design, we craft one-of-a-kind wooden bathtubs that reflect the soul of New Orleans—artistic, timeless, and unapologetically original.
Just like the Crescent City, our tubs are built with a deep respect for tradition and a flair for the unconventional. Every piece is shaped by hand in our New Orleans workshop using premium hardwoods, time-honored joinery, and a careful eye for detail. No two tubs are alike—each one is a work of functional art, meant to turn your bathroom into a sanctuary.
Wooden bathtubs don’t just hold water—they hold warmth, character, and the quiet luxury of slowing down. While porcelain and fiberglass are cold and predictable, our tubs invite you to sink into something more soulful. They’re made for people who see bathing not just as a routine, but as a ritual.
We proudly ship across the U.S. and beyond, bringing a little bit of New Orleans creativity to homes all over the world. Whether you’re in the mountains of Vermont or a downtown loft in L.A., we’ll build a tub that fits your space, your style, and your rhythm.
