Keith Johnson- Anthropology Buyer
What more can anyone ask for when they're able to travel and shop??...To get paid for it! My new t.v. best friend Keith Johnson has the job of my dreams traveling all over the world searching for the perfect items to feature in the one of a kind store Anthropology. You can follow him while he travels to places from India to Argentina seeking out artifacts that holds true to the Anthropology style.
Natives from each destination act as guides for Johnson, taking him to overlooked artisan warehouses, small antique shops, or design conventions. The way he examines pieces and recontructs them to transform their purpose is amazing and inspiring. He instantly knows what does and doesn't work for his clientele and quickly moves to the next destination if nothing tickles his fancy.
The pressure of producing an interesting presentation for his bosses at Anthropology is the only thing that could possibly stop this from being the best job ever...but with his eye, it's a cake walk. Recently while in Chicago, I perused the Anthropology store in the Gold Coast and was so excited when I saw a birdcage from India that Johnson picked out on the show. I didn't think it would fit in my suitcase though.
If you haven't seen the show yet, catch up on Comcast On Demand or tune in to the Sundance channel Wednesday nights at 10pm.
