LLS USB-C Multi-Outlet — A Dieter Rams-esque Block That Tidies Up Your Power Strip

I've never really thought a power strip could be "pretty," but this one made me want to just leave it out on my desk the moment I saw it. It's nothing more than an aluminum block with a single fabric handle attached — and that's exactly the point.

🔍 Why I'm Interested

An approach where even a power strip can be part of your desk setup

Power strips are usually something you try to hide as much as possible, but this one is designed to be confidently displayed instead. The aluminum block shape gives it a sense of heft, and the fabric handle makes it look easy to carry around, almost like tidying up a cable.

A minimalist design language in the spirit of Dieter Rams

Seeing the Dieter Rams book placed next to it in the lifestyle shot, this product seems to be reaching for the Braun design philosophy of "less but better." The contrast-driven socket colorway also carries that same Braun-appliance feel.

A tone that fits in anywhere you place it

Whether it's set on top of vintage audio gear, on a side table, or even shot on a carpeted floor, it blends in naturally in every scene. The materials and colors are put together well enough to work as an interior accent, so it felt less like a "charging tool" and more like a "small piece of furniture."

🤔 Points to Consider

Lack of precise spec information

The USB-C output wattage, the outlets' rated capacity, and the full port configuration aren't clearly confirmed. Since a power strip is a safety-critical item, it seems important to check the official spec and certification status before buying.

Price compared to a standard power strip

Looking purely at function, it's noticeably more expensive than a regular power strip. How much you're willing to pay for the design is a matter of taste, but if you're only looking at it as a "cable management tool," it might feel a bit steep.

📋 Product Features (Subjective Rating)

Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Portability: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (movable thanks to the fabric handle, but still has some bulk)
Practicality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Value for money: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (specs relative to price need to be verified)

🛒 Before You Buy

✅ Recommended for

Anyone who wants to style their desk or living room outlet lines with interior design in mind
Fans of Dieter Rams/Braun-style minimalist appliances

❌ Not recommended for

Anyone who just wants to add outlet capacity as cheaply as possible
Anyone who needs precise current and certification specs confirmed before feeling at ease

🎯 Final Verdict

This is a product that shows even a power strip can carry a design philosophy. From the aluminum block body and fabric handle to the tone-matched socket colors — you can feel the intent of making "an outlet that's okay to show," not just checking off function.

That said, it's safer to reconfirm the real-world specs (rated current, certification) through official channels before buying. If you're someone who wants to treat cable management on your desk as part of your interior design, this one is worth keeping an eye on.
