About Najiba

• Najiba, meaning “noble” in Japanese, is a 58 m Feadship expedition yacht launched in early 2019. With a full aluminium hull and superstructure, she sports a pristine white finish and minimalist design. The LEGO® model, built at a scale of 1:58 and measuring just over one meter, captures her serene elegance and luxurious features.

Design & Architecture

• Interior Design: Studio Christian Liaigre and Claudio Cicconetti, creating a serene “beach villa” ambiance with clean lines and exquisite materials
• Naval Architecture: Philippe Briand and De Voogt Naval Architects

• Key design elements include a sleek plumb bow, open‑plan main salon with forward‑aft sightlines, expansive alfresco decks, and full stabilizers for comfort under way and at anchor.

Why This Model Stands Out

• Expedition-grade elegance: The all‑aluminium build and minimalist design are perfectly translated into brick
• Accurate scale & presence: At over 1 m, the model reflects Najiba’s sleek silhouette and deck layouts
• Interior and exterior integration: Highlights like sundeck layouts, tender bays, and streamlined superstructure are meticulously reproduced
  

The Build

• Following CAD-based planning, the model was designed and engineered to reflect full structural integrity with multiple decks and fine detailing. Built in 2020, the 101 cm replica comprises around 12–113,000 parts and showcases advanced building techniques to support features like open decks and structural accuracy.
