Abstract
A vehicle interior component includes a foam layer having a contact surface. The vehicle interior component also includes a cover layer having a contact surface and a show surface. The show surface is configured to face an interior of a vehicle, the contact surface of the cover layer is positioned on an opposite side of the cover layer from the show surface, and the contact surface of the cover layer is in direct contact with the contact surface of the foam layer. In addition, multiple recesses are formed within at least one of the contact surface of the foam layer and the contact surface of the cover layer, each recess establishes a gap between the contact surface of the foam layer and the contact surface of the cover layer at the recess, and the recesses are configured to accommodate gas emitted by the foam layer and/or the cover layer.
