Perth's Onyx & Smoke closes due to economic challenges

Onyx & Smoke, a homewares business based in Perth, is closing down. The company announced this on Instagram, citing tough conditions for small businesses in Australia. Rising production costs and increasing labor expenses have made it hard for them to continue. Additionally, the demand for fast furniture has affected their sales. They mentioned personal changes in their lives as another factor leading to this decision. Onyx & Smoke will continue to accept orders until March 31. They emphasized that this is the last chance for customers to buy their unique, Australian-made items. The products, including beanbag chairs and cushions, are crafted with high-quality materials. Starting March 24, the company will hold a special Instagram sale to offer some unique pieces. This will be a final opportunity for fans of the brand to purchase their products before the business closes completely.
