he Austere VII Series surge
projector is a radical departure
from the norm. Its competitors
are invariably ugly things,
typically fabricated from plastic with little
thought afforded to industrial design
beyond how many plugs they can
accommodate. Clad in brushed aluminum
with polished beveled edges, and a power
cord wrapped in luxurious braided fabric,
Austere’s device is so pretty you’ll be
tempted to leave it in plain view—until you
plug things into its eight outlets, that is.
Then you’ll hide it away just like any other
surge protector.
The other thing that sets the AustereAustere VII Series: Beautiful
protection preciously priced
This is gorgeous, but at the end of the day, it’s a $200 surge protector.
