Danish term or phrase: returdrej
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?

Thanks. But actually, I found a good expression - a memory return swivel - by googling. But the other suggestions would probably work too.

return-to-base


Explanation:
a return-to-base function

or perhaps a self-straightening function

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...

Explanation:
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.
