around all four sides of the table, which gives people enough room to move around a table and also move chairs in or away from the table. Whatever the size of your table, allow about 24 to 30 inches per person so people can comfortably eat without bumping elbows. In small areas, sometimes the best use of space is to place the dining table in a corner with bench or banquette seating. If you’re going this route, you’ll definitely need a dining table with a pedestal base.

THE STYLE SPECIALIST
ith the holiday season here, many of us are busy planning gatherings and making travel arrangements to visit loved ones. As I think about the weeks ahead and some of the stress that comes with the holidays (hello, getting COVID-19 again or fighting crowds at the airport), I am calmed when my thoughts turn to sharing meals with family and friends. I think most of us agree that mealtimes are by Christine S. Cowles one of the best parts of the holidays. Perhaps you’re having people over but don’t love your dining space? If you’re considering updating your dining area but feel overwhelmed by the number of options available, consider these tips to help you mix and match to your way to dining perfection.
Next, let’s make sure your dining table and chairs are comfortable when paired together. Most dining tables range from 28 to 31 inches high, with 29 to 30 inches being the most common. The seat of dining chairs are usually 17 to 20 inches from the floor, leaving about one foot from the seat to the table. As a rule of thumb, this is the ideal distance. Chairs should also fit comfortably under the table without bumping into the table legs, so be sure to keep this in mind when determining how many guests to sit around a table. Tables with a pedestal base are a great option, as you’ll be less constricted by the table legs and can generally fit more chairs with this style table.
Materials
Size of the Space
If you’re not selecting a dining table and chair set (where everything matches exactly) but not sure how to pair chairs and a table, I always ask myself if items complement each other or fight each other. Choosing tables and chairs with a common element usually ensures that they’ll look good together. That common element can be the period, the undertone color of the finish, or the level of formality. If the style of the table is mid-century and a walnut color, you’ll want to select chairs with similar lines and visual weight. Or perhaps your dining table has a glass top and brass metal base; then consider selecting upholstered chairs with fabric that pairs well with brass tones. Mixed and matched seating works better on rectangular tables, which leave room for switching up the side and end chairs. For a more formal look, pair side chairs without arms with armchairs at each end of the table. Chairs with a taller back are generally more formal, so, for a less formal look, use the same low-back chair, such as a wishbone chair, around the entire table. Finally, if you’re looking to make a change but don’t want to spend a lot, consider buying fabric chair covers or just adding two new end chairs to breathe a refreshed look into your dining room. Wherever you share a meal this holiday season, ultimately, it’s the sharing that’s most important. I’d love to see photos of your family meals.

Let’s first start by considering the size of the dining room or dining area in order to determine the best table size. Ideally, you should have about three feet of space/walkway
When selecting the materials for your table (glass, wood, metal, etc.) and chairs (wood, upholstered, cane, or rattan, just to name a few), be sure to think about the other elements in the room. If your dining area is part of an open-concept room and you can see the kitchen and/or the living room while you’re in the dining area, then it’s best to consider all of the finishes throughout the spaces so they blend well together. In smaller spaces, I prefer to be cautious of how many different materials I’m using. For example, you might use a

Chamber of Commerce Hosts TechTopia
O
n November 15, the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce hosted TechTopia, where leaders from six local tech companies discussed what led their companies to choose the South Coast for their operations and the challenges posed by an unreliable electric grid, worker shortages, and high housing costs. Held at LinkedIn’s facility in Carpinteria, Chamber Board Chair and LinkedIn Head of Nonprofit Strategy & Sales Joey Zumaya welcomed guests and served as moderator. Chamber President and CEO Kristen Miller acknowledged the “laid-back brainiacs” in the room who enthusiastically serve on Chamber committees to make sure this area is an inviting and vibrant place for innovative companies. Google Hardware Engineer Paula Heu explained that for Google’s Goleta facility, where it develops quantum chips, Santa Barbara was the perfect site because of UCSB’s NanoFab facility, the quality of life here, and the awesome talent in quantum, physics, and quantum physics coming out of UCSB. The NanoFab is an environmentally controlled room to make semiconductors that UCSB rents out to businesses. She praised this facility as a great asset for startups that don’t have the capital to create their own facility. Google is still using the NanoFab for new materials but now has its own facility where its production is faster, and it will be hiring a lot more people for this operation. Kyocera SLD Laser Supply Chain Director Marco Scussat related that his company was also drawn to the area by the NanoFab and the talent pool coming out of UCSB. Turning to the challenges, Agilent Technologies Associate Vice President Larry Doris lamented the 17 electricity interruptions Agilent has experienced in the past two years, each one necessitating a controlled shutdown and a delay for its time-sensitive cancer diagnostic services. More broadly, he asserted, the unreliability impacts the competitiveness of the region in attracting new businesses. Doris is working through the Chamber to bring together stakeholders, including utilities, government
agencies, and businesses, to create more power resiliency. The focus, according to Doris, needs to be not at the macro level, but at the end-user site. Transphorm Human Resources Leader Randy Berg related the challenges his wafer-processing operations experience with outages and noted that there are many other wafer-processing companies here similarly affected. While someone in an office may not even notice a power surge, Berg noted, it can ruin $40,000 worth of product for Transphorm. While Tesla battery packs are an alternative for an established business, they are not for a start-up. As for workforce development, Zumaya offered some interesting data from LinkedIn. In the TriCounty area, LinkedIn has 658,000 profiles and businesses offering roughly 15,000 jobs. Measured by the volume of emails recruiters send to people trying to fill jobs, the tech sector already is by far the hardest to hire in, and tech is projected to be among the fastest-growing industries here. Noting that there are 4,071 profiles with the title of president, CEO, or founder, Zumaya observed that tech companies can land here, but it’s an open question whether they can expand here. UCSB NanoFab Process Group Manager Demis John emphasized that the lack of visibility of the local tech sector prevents youth who have the ability and would love working in this sector from taking the classes and getting into the programs needed to prepare them for good jobs here. A relatively new program brings SBCC students into a clean room at UCSB (not the NanoFab), where in the course of just one week, they make two chips. This handson experience exposes the students to jobs and an industry they didn’t even know existed here and shows them that they have the ability to do the work. Demis concedes that not everyone wants to make chips, but for those who do, this program exposes them to a career that can enable them to stay here and make a good living. This is especially valuable, Demis noted, given the shortage of workers in the field. The Chamber itself, Demis related, is building a concerted effort to address the workforce challenge, working

On the housing front, Zumaya pointed to a Chamberled effort to create an employer-sponsored housing consortium, which would allow employers to secure housing for employees without the administrative burden of managing the units. Curvature General Manager of the Global Hardware Division Sachi Thompson called the housing situation a crisis. She noted the success of Cottage Health, Sansum, and UCSB with workforce housing and emphasized the need for businesses to come together. Noting that companies already provide some relocation assistance, Thompson suggested bridge housing may be a starting point. Berg closed out the session, urging companies to work together through the Chamber to solve these pressing challenges. For workforce development, the Chamber seeks to bridge the gap between industry leaders, educational institutions, job seekers, and others through the formation of an industry-education workforce development round table that would develop training programs. For the housing consortium effort the Chamber is leading, employers would be able to acquire residential properties or lease units from new housing projects based on their level of investment in the consortium.

Mobility on State Street
M
uch of the discussion about the future of State Street over the past two years has centered around mobility: what types of mobility to allow, what to allow along various sections of the corridor, and the compatibility of the various modes. Everyone has an opinion. The experiment that began during COVID of closing the street to cars has yielded a lot of information and given an understanding of what works and doesn’t work well.
Several of the principles gaining widespread agreement for our downtown center are (1) serving local people first; (2) making our city center as welcoming and inclusive for as many as possible (all ages, races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations); and (3) planning for continuing innovation and flexibility due to the rapid social, technological, and climate changes dominating our times. Given considerable agreement around these general concepts, how do we slow
