How to approach? Loft? Sweep?

I live on a boat, and quickly design functional parts and 3D print them all the time. It's been awesome when I'm in remote places with poor part availability, and Fusion has been great. However, I'm terrible with organic and "arty" shapes, but this time aesthetics matter, I'd love some advice for how to approach this one...
 
I want to model a box that quickly tapers and narrows asymmetrically, also bends it's path, then widens again at the other end. The attached is a pic of a model that isn't mine, but it shows a asymmetrically tapering rectangular cross section column that is extremely similar to what I want. Any advice is much appreciated!

Thank you for this! My own closest attempts were all loft operations with multiple profiles (but it never worked out), your way is definitely better.
