Alternative material for partition wall
I have removed two wardrobes and will instead put up a small partition wall. The framework is not very sturdy since I had to build from one side on the back of an existing partition wall.
Anyway, the framework will surely hold, but I would like to avoid buying large heavy plaster or wood panels.
The wall is only 1.2m long and 2.4m high.
Is there paneling or something similar that can be put up piece by piece, which would be easier and lighter to install, similar to a ceiling that is put up piece by piece?
I hope you understand what I mean.
There are surely many who have tips or ideas; I would be very grateful for them.

Wood paneling is simple and stylish, if you like the style 
There are many variants, such as pärlspont.
First, decide if you want it vertical or horizontal.
Then just go to the lumber yard, choose the length, and take it home.

Thanks for the tips. Considering some form of stylish mountain panel, slightly convex and irregular surface. I've looked at byggmax but can't find any. Are there other stores with a wide range of this?

Have you checked this brochure? It probably covers most things.
If that's not enough, you're simply a nerd

They were thin drywall panels, split them to make it easier to install them.
I have 2 additional questions about this.
1. The studs weren't 100% even against the back of the drywall, had to press a bit on one side when I screwed them in. Now they are against the framework. How sensitive is the drywall to this? Can it crack or break later on?
2. I was thinking of creating a texture on the interior wall with spackle, there are special spackle knives just for this. What kind of spackle should be used? Regular spackle might crack when it's such a thick layer?
