There’s a new AV accessories brand in the consumer electronics business that hopes to match the performance features their products with the style demands of the people who own them. Founded by fashion and consumer technology industry maven Deena Ghazarian, Austere is committed to creating technology accessories with a luxurious look.
Available since early July, the Austere line includes home entertainment audio and video cables, conditioned power, and clean products. Austere is so passionate about being more than expected that it stands behind its home theater, clean and power products with a lifetime guarantee to replace them if they ever break or underperform.
“There is a massive gap in the technology accessories category, where the choice is either ubiquitous products that easily break and underperform or overly extravagant, antiquated accessories,” Ghazarian said. “At Austere, we’re equally passionate about performance and style and believe there’s a tremendous need in the accessories market for accessible products where these ideologies intersect. That’s why we’ve created Austere, from the packaging to the in-store displays to the products themselves, with intentional design and minimalistic style that deliver spectacular performance.”
Austere’s products feature substantial, reusable packaging and opulent-yet-minimalistic style. The Austere Collection includes the following:
