Natural Luxury: Homes Inspired by Nature A Conversation with Rush Jenkins & Klaus Baer

Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer are the founders of WRJ Design, the nationally recognized Jackson Hole-based interior design firm celebrated for creating refined luxury homes where bespoke furnishings, distinctive works of art, and natural materials come together in harmony with the surrounding landscape. Guided by a shared vision of timeless design, an enduring connection to nature, and exceptional craftsmanship, they have grown WRJ from a small partnership into one of the country's leading luxury residential design firms, with a multidisciplinary team of nearly 30 creative professionals.

Their work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Veranda, LUXE Interiors + Design, House Beautiful, and Traditional Home, and in 2026 WRJ Design was honored with both a National and Regional LUXE RED Award. The firm is also a four-time winner of Mountain Living’s Home of the Year Award and a recipient of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) Jacques Benedict Award for Residential Interior Design.

Jenkins and Baer are also the authors of the acclaimed design books Natural Elegance: Luxurious Mountain Living and newly released Natural Luxury: Homes Inspired by Nature, both published by Vendome Press.

Join the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art New England and the Boston Athenaeum for an evening with acclaimed interior designers Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer, founders of the nationally recognized firm WRJ Design, as they discuss their newly released book, Natural Luxury: Homes Inspired by Nature.
