Skull with Burning Cigarette in Bauhaus© is an original cross-stitch design by Riley Wood and Fiber Art that fuses stark symbolism with the disciplined clarity of Bauhaus design. Reduced to essential forms, the skull and cigarette are rendered through bold geometry, controlled color fields, and intentional balance—transforming a provocative subject into a study of structure, function, and visual economy.
Designed for 14-count Aida, this pattern emphasizes clean lines, high contrast, and deliberate restraint. Circles, angles, and simplified shapes replace excess detail, allowing the composition to feel graphic, architectural, and unmistakably modern. The result is a striking piece that rewards precision stitching and appeals to those drawn to design-forward, minimalist aesthetics.
