1. A cladding part, comprising:
a carrier part; and
a surface covering arranged on a side of the carrier part that faces the surface covering, wherein
the surface covering is made of a knitted-fabric material, wherein the knitted-fabric material is formed from a front-side knitted fabric and a back-side knitted fabric, wherein the front-side knitted fabric and the back-side knitted fabric are each produced from a yarn, wherein the yarn is formed from a multiplicity of filaments that comprise 50 to 100 filaments, wherein the filaments are manufactured from a plastic and/or an aramid material, and wherein the knitted-fabric material is intrinsically stiff such that the surface covering does not deform in regions in which the surface covering is not supported by the carrier part, and thus no edges of the carrier part are reproduced on a visible surface of the cladding part, even under an action of gravitational force.
