A device including a touch-sensitive free-form surface, the free-form surface having an outer surface and a position detection unit having a sensor surface. The sensor surface and the free-form surface have different geometric shapes, and switching elements are arranged between the sensor surface and the free-form surface, each having a first end and an opposing second end. The first ends are assigned to different detection positions on the free-form surface, and the second ends are assigned to different sensor positions on the sensor surface of the position detection unit so that touches of the free-form surface are transmitted to the sensor surface via the switching elements and are spatially detected by the position detection unit. Also disclosed is a method for producing such a device.
