Where tradition meets
the contemporary
Every piece begins with a conversation and ends with a legacy. At carpintree, Pete Higginson brings decades of craft expertise to create furniture, cabinetry, and joinery that lives and breathes with its surroundings.
Working from Hope Street Yard in the heart of Cambridge, each project is a collaboration between maker and material — respecting the grain, honouring the wood, and building something that will outlast us all.
Crafted with purpose,
built to endure
Custom Cabinetry
Bespoke cabinets designed around your space, your life, and the way you live. From kitchens to libraries, each piece is tailored to its home.
Bespoke Joinery
Windows, doors, staircases and architectural elements crafted with precision joinery that celebrates the craft of working wood.
Handmade Furniture
Tables, chairs, shelving and sculptural pieces. Each one a unique expression of material and design, made to be used and loved for generations.
Wooden Boatbuilding
The ultimate test of a woodworker’s skill. Building vessels that must be beautiful and functional, where the craft literally meets the water.

“The best work comes from listening — to the client, to the wood, to the space it will inhabit.”
Let’s make
something together
Whether you have a clear vision or just the seed of an idea, every great piece starts with a conversation.
