Photo caption from an article on Arne Jacobsen, the Danish designer.
The three famous chairs of Jacobsen The Swan, The Ant and the The Egg are described with pictures.
Entrambe le sedute, come la poltrona The Swan (1957-58), ben evidenziano la ricerca formale che prende l'avvio da forme organiche per arrivare a soluzioni ergonomicamente corrette.
prende l'avvio ...= that starts or begins from / that gets under ways from ?
