Component for vehicle interior

A component for a vehicle interior configured to provide a user interface illuminated by light from a light source comprising:

• (a) a base;
• (b) a light-transmissive cover comprising an exterior surface;
• wherein the base comprises a housing;
• wherein the cover is configured to present an effect on the exterior surface;
• wherein the effect comprises an illumination effect when illuminated by light from the light source;
• wherein the illumination effect comprises a dynamic lighting effect comprising light from the light source;
• wherein the light source comprises a set of LED elements configured to illuminate each set of a set of segments to provide the dynamic lighting effect;
• wherein a set of dividers is provided between each set of segments;
• wherein each set of dividers is configured to provide an optical barrier;
• wherein the light source is configured to selectively illuminate each set of the set of segments;
• wherein the set of LED elements comprises at least one LED element for a segment of the set of segments
• further comprising a heating element comprising a three-dimensional form comprising a profile;
• wherein the profile of the heating element is integrated with the profile of the cover layer so that the heating element is at least partially concealed at the exterior surface of the cover.
