Changing the name of my company

October 18, 2022

Im proud to announce that as of today I’m changing the name of my company.

Entrepreneurship is about being open to change, especially when rapid growth occurs. Seeing where opportunities lie and daring to make decisions that have impact. Today is a day of such a big decision for 1605 Publishers, which from now on will be known as ‘1605 Collective’. – Founder Bastiaan Woudt

With this name change, we are preparing our ever-expanding business for the future. The overarching entity of ‘1605 Collective’ will be divided over a multi-label stage for art, design and architecture – with established names and undiscovered talent.

It was such a joy after 1,5 years to visit an art fair again, lets hope we can continue seeing each other at all the upcoming fairs!
