Stol med drejbart sæde kan monteres med ”returdrej”, d.v.s. når man rejser sig fra stolen og går, drejer stolen tilbage til udgangspunktet (så det ser pænt og ordentlig ud når alle har forladt bordet).
Er der en, der har et godt forslag til den?

I think this is a term invented for the occasion, so you are entitled to invent one yourself if you want, especially if you can get it to sound smart, but not over-smart...

This might work in this context. Used in the web link, but not exactly as in your context, perhaps. As Christine says, you may be free to "invent" a word for this if that has been done for advertising purposes in the Danish.
Good luck.
