<p>A decorative covering has an obverse side which comprises a plurality of flexible fibres (2). A support member (1) is used to support the flexible fibres (2) and on the reverse side of the support member (1) is located a number of optical fibres (4). The support member (1) supports a force of expected magnitude applied to the obverse side of the covering and prevents damage to the optical fibres (4). One end (15) of each optical fibre (4) passes through to the obverse side of the covering at a designated position so that radiation emitted from a radiation source coupled to the other end of the fibre, is emitted from the obverse side of the covering. Preferably the support member (1) comprises two channels (30, 31). One channel (30) on the obverse side into which the flexible fibres (2) are inserted and the other channel (31) on the reverse side in which the optical fibre (4) are located. The support member (1) also has holes (3) to enable the ends (15) of the optical fibres (4) to be passed through to the obverse side of the covering.</p> |
