clothes "riding up"
Wenn ich's richtig verstanden habe, geht es hier darum, daß mit jeder Bewegung des Stuhls, das Hemd nach oben "rutscht". Also:
...prevents clothes "riding up".

In the light of Cilian\'s explanation, this doesn\'t seem such a good idea after all. Am I allowed to disagree with myself? :-)

explanation
Wer schon einmal auf einem durchschnittlichen Bürodrehstuhl gesessen hat, kennt das: den Hemdauszieheffekt. Er bezeichnet, was passiert, wenn sich jemand auf einem Bürostuhl zurücklehnt, bei dem sich die Rückenlehne schneller nach hinten bewegt als die Sitzfläche nach vorn.

No idea what this is called in English - you might even have to make up a term. There are an amazing 2 google hits for "swivel chair" AND "shirt pulling effect", but I'm sure we'll come up with something better.

avoids the typical awkward recline angle
English-language sites seem to be a lot more concerned about users's spines than users' shirts.
Check out this site, it's full of synchronized movement, dual pivot backrests, intelligent recline mechanisms, and angles which open up.
