Holmegaard "Kabaret" Snack Set
Arne Basse hors d'ouvres set with teak or walnut tray and four separate Smoke glass trays ideal for dips and tapas.
The stackable trays, modelled on Wilhelm Wagenfeld's iconic 'Kubus' series, were produced by Holmegaard, and first feature in their 1963 factory catalogue as the 'Kabaret' series, form numbers 17841 (large) and 17842 (small).
They were supplied to Arne Basse of Horsens, Denmark, for use in their recessed trays of solid wood and marketed under the name 'Snack Set'.
Similar sets with 'Kabaret' trays are also known from Digsmed and Laurids Lonborg. For later productions into the 1970s the glass trays were replaced by cheaper plastic trays of similar style and colour, and so these earlier models are a nice find.
