A decorative part for an interior of a vehicle, with a visible side and a mounting side opposite the visible side, comprising:
- a decorative element arranged on the visible side and a backing element arranged on the mounting side, the backing element is spaced apart from the decorative element to form an intermediate space, wherein the backing element, has at least one cavity which penetrates the backing element at least in some areas, wherein the intermediate space is filled with an injection-molded plastic which also penetrates the at least one backing element cavity of the backing element.
A method for manufacturing a decorative part in an injection mold with a mold cavity using a plastic material, the method comprising the following steps:
- inserting a decorative element with a visible side into the mold cavity so that the visible side points to a first longitudinal side of the mold cavity,
- inserting a backing element with a front side into the mold cavity so that the backing element is spaced apart from the decorative element to form an intermediate space between the decorative element and the backing element, wherein the backing element has at least one backing element cavity and is permeable to a molten plastic;
- melting the plastic material;
- and
- pressing the melted plastic material into the intermediate space so that the plastic material fills the intermediate space and passes through the at least one backing element cavity of the backing element to form the decorative part.
