1. A vehicle trim element comprising at least one support layer, comprising an inner face and an outer face, and at least one functional layer made of carbon material extending over at least part of the inner face and/or over at least part of the outer face of the support layer, wherein at least part of said functional layer defines at least one pattern comprising at least one conductive area of carbon material and at least one non-conductive area formed by a through opening in the functional layer, said conductive area being powered by a current source electrically connected to the conductive area, the pattern forming at least part of an electrical circuit arranged to perform an interaction function with a vehicle passenger on an outer surface of the trim element.
