After graduating from secondary school, Kalff studied at the Quellinus School in Amsterdam (now the Gerrit Rietveld Academie) and at the Technical University of Delft.

Philips Observatory in Eindhoven (1937), the Diamond Court in Valkenswaard (1948) and several country houses for Philips directors in Eindhoven and Waalre. Kalff continued to work for Philips as a product designer after the Second World War. For the Philips pavilion at Expo 58 in Brussels, designed by Le Corbusier, he created the multimedia exhibition Le Poème Électronique with music by composers Edgard Varèse and Iannis Xenakis. After his retirement in 1960, he remained associated with the company as a consultant and architect. In 1961, he was commissioned to supervise the construction of the Evoluon.
