Designed and developed in Slovakia, Ecocapsule® is one of the world’s most innovative and iconic microhomes, combining energy autonomy, futuristic design, and off-grid living into one compact, mobile solution. Its signature egg-shaped form and intelligent use of renewable technologies have captured international attention, winning multiple global design and sustainability awards.

This eco-friendly, mobile microhome represents not only the future of green architecture but also the strength of European design innovation — strategically protected by expert IP law firm Brichta & Partners, who help bring bold ideas like this to the global market.

A Global Design Icon with Prestigious Awards

Since its launch, Ecocapsule® has become a symbol of sustainable innovation:

    • Winner of multiple international design awards
    • Featured in top media outlets such as CNN, BBC, The Guardian, and Dezeen
    • Showcased at major global exhibitions and design fairs across Europe, the US, and Asia
    • Used worldwide for glamping resorts, eco-tourism, scientific field stations, and off-grid living solutions

Each Ecocapsule unit is completely self-sufficient, powered by solar panels and a wind turbine, and equipped with a high-efficiency water harvesting and filtration system, enabling users to live comfortably off the grid, whether in remote nature or urban environments.

New Innovation: Ecocapsule® Box, 24 m² of Off-Grid Living

Expanding on the original capsule design, the company has recently introduced the Ecocapsule Box — a larger, two-room modular microhome with a footprint of 24 m², designed for long-term, off-grid living.

With its "think inside the box" concept, the Ecocapsule Box offers:

    • Spacious, fully off-grid housing
    • Sleek, modern interior
    • Integrated renewable energy systems
    • Ideal for eco-resorts, residential use, or remote workspaces

Why IP Protection Matters: A Word from the Founders

Tomáš Žáček, co-founder of Ecocapsule®, shares:

„Our cooperation with Brichta & Partners ensures complete protection of our brand and product design — from trademarks to the futuristic visual identity of our microhomes. They’ve helped us understand IP not just as a legal obligation, but as a business-critical asset.“

Design as a Strategic Asset: How to Protect Your Innovation Globally

In the fast-moving world of product design and sustainable innovation, intellectual property is key. Many creators assume a single registration protects them forever, but each new version, modification, or variant may require separate evaluation and legal protection.

Brichta & Partners educate and support designers to:

    • Identify what makes their design unique and protectable
    • Secure international design rights
    • Update protection as the product evolves
    • Defend against unauthorized copies or misuse

In the case of Ecocapsule®, distinct design elements, like its curved form, window layout, technical integrations, and overall visual identity, are not just aesthetic features. They are strategic assets that differentiate the product on the global market, and significantly increase its business value.

Whether you’re an innovative startup, a design studio, or an established manufacturer, protecting your intellectual property is essential for long-term success.
