As promised, here's my entry about WEEKDAY. I stumbled upon WEEKDAY months ago, I was shopping when the lurid neon light striked my way. And as I had an open mind, I didn't want to judge a book by its cover.
Given, the shop window was a bit chaotic and off the wall but it kinda attracted me. The clothes racks are abnormally angular and you have to watch out not to bang your knees against the edges - you could do without bruises.

They do share certain design elements like colour schemes and tilting angles but in large part they're unique specimen.
