Meet Our Artist in Residence


Michel Smith Boyd

In New York this weekend for BDNY? Make sure to stop by Booth #1957 for a real brush with fame. We’ll be thrilled to personally introduce you to our artist in residence, interior and product designer Michel Smith Boyd. We’re excited to report that the star of Bravo’s hit show Buying it Blind has unleashed his considerable talents on our 2019 BDNY space, transforming just 100 square feet into a luxurious boutique hotel suite.


While many know Michel best for his star-turns on the small screen, we in the trade know him as one of Atlanta’s hottest interior designers with an ever-growing universe of luxe product collections to his name. But don’t for a second think he’s just another celeb simply lending his name to products others have designed. Born with a true passion for art, he’s a prolific painter with a unique point of view, and he’s now applying his unique talents to furnishings and cabinetry available exclusively at 1429 Mfg.


Join us Sunday and Monday to celebrate this exciting brand partnership and to explore Michel’s next level take on what a true luxury hotel experience can be. We think you’ll find it sexy, sumptuous, and like Michel himself, simply irresistible!
