The second carpet quality made of pure Swiss sheep’s wool by Isabel Bürgin is a pictorially independent carpet woven on a two-coloured linen warp which ends at the bottom and top in a dynamic braiding pattern. The characteristic knob structure is the result of the deliberate amplification of an error. The distribution of the knobs on the fabric surface is improvised. The format is divided into 3 areas and 2 colours. The central colour is a square. The other colour fills one and two thirds of the rest of the format, below and above the square.
