Lee Broom's On the Rock wine and champagne glasses feature crystal bowls perched on top of Carrera marble bases.

"Fusing the delicate crystal with the heavy marble base plays with the idea of balance - both structurally and through the contrasting materials," said Broom.

The surfaces of both materials are curved where they meet, so the glass looks like it could topple off.

The champagne coupe has a wider and flatter cup than the wine glass, as well as a taller, thinner stem.

The collection will be launched during the dinner at Spazio Pontaccio, Via Pontaccio 18, in Milan's Brera district on 8 April, before the showroom opens to the public the day after.
