My Home Office: A Midcentury Modern Apartment for Photographer Patrick Diokno
His space successfully blends mid-century modern design with Japanese minimalism.

You know that apartment you see on Instagram? The one with the dozens, sometimes hundreds, sometimes thousands of likes and heart-eyes emoji comments? It’s not any specific apartment—it’s many apartments, or the idea of an apartment that's beautifully decorated, impeccably aligned with a design motif, with plants and thoughtfully placed decor. It is, shall we say, #goals. It’s the concept of an apartment, an “aesthetic” place to live, and it’s a place we all dream will be ours one day.
Well, Patrick Diokno happens to have such an apartment to call home. The Makati-based photographer, who’s shot some of the biggest names in the country, has decorated his place to give it a distinct vibe—a blend of mid-century modern and Japanese influences. The place certainly has character to it, and it’s a testament to what you can achieve with the right blend. Watch:
Chivas Regal celebrates the triumph of design that Diokno’s living space represents. In a time when home is truly the place that matters most, it’s worth setting yourself up in a home that makes you feel comfortable, and represents your tastes. The blend of midcentury and Japanese themes in this particular apartment embodies the Chivas philosophy, #SuccessIsABlend.
