The kind of plywood the grain depicts would be very high quality solid veneer core furniture grade plywood. Not the same stuff you might build a shed with, and probably 2 or 3 times the cost.

You can find a lot of high end furniture using this kind of plywood. It's commonly used with steam bending chairs here's an example

It's still a substitute for solid wood 99% of the time.

A chair like that I would assume the craftsman is laminating their own veneer and not bending purchased plywood.
