Abstract

An interior part combined structure includes a first interior part with a second interior part. The first interior part includes a first base and a design material attached to the first base so as to cover at least a part of a surface of the first base. The second interior part includes a second base provided so as to cover an end part of the first base. The design material is a woven fabric woven by using synthetic resin fibers and side emission type optical fibers as warps or wefts. The side emission type optical fibers each include one end part to which a light source is connected. The one end part includes an end surface facing a light emitting part of the light source. The second base includes a bent end part. The bent end part includes an end surface brought into contact with or facing the design material.

Claims
