To along with her transformation of T'afia into Sparrow, chef Monica Pope commissioned Houston design firm installationsantiques to transform the space. Working on a theme of "soft industrial," the results speak for themselves. Among the elements, the waiters' station is made from an antique butcher block. According to Jur van der Oord of installationsantiques, which has also been involved with the interiors of Revival Market and Anvil Bar & Refuge, "Our overt nod to Monica's farm-to-table sensibility came into play with the rusted, powder coated tables that integrate wheels from discarded farming equipment."
