Philippe Briand designed the minimalist exterior of "Najiba" for his Vitruvius Yachts brand, while Guillaume Rolland from Studio Christian Liaigre styled the interior.

The first Feadship launch of 2019 was a family yacht commissioned by experienced owners. Peter Wilson, who was responsible for supervising the construction for MCM, says: "They knew Feadship's quality from other yachts. And so it was their long-cherished dream to help design one themselves." In Arabic, "Najiba" means noble or classy. This is expressed both in the Liaigre interior and in the clear lines with flat superstructures. The Briand exterior is characterised by three tarpaulins on the sundeck and the glass railing. The elegant 58-metre custom format was not a purely French affair during the build preparation: Feadship De Voogt took care of the naval architecture calculations and the Italian Claudio Cicconetti laid out the layout.
