Help creating a box with curved edges

[kbsurface]

Hello All
I am trying to edit an existing box so it is a bit taller to accommodate my contents.
I would like to keep the elegant curved exterior (which seems to be more than just one fillet).
I tried sweeping a profile along a path to get the curves sides but it just looks odd.

Can you suggest what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

This is the profile I want to achieve:

Here is what I tried so far:

I tried all the options in the freecad (transformed, freenet etc) and it still looks weird.

The exact dimensions do not matter for now.

Thanks

OK. I see that you want me to try an intersection of parts instead of sweep a profile along a path.
Is that right?

...

Yes, I assume it is a massive part

Hmm...there is an option in YT to reduce the speed of videos. Click the gear icon.
