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. Between 1925 and 1926, together with Jan Hanrath, Kalff designed the building of the Delft Student Rowing Association (D.S.R.V. Laga) in the style of the Amsterdam School. In 1925, Kalff joined the Philips advertising department. Under his direction, the Lighting Advice Bureau (LIBU) was established in 1929. He designed the Philips logo and participated in the World Expositions in Barcelona, Antwerp, Brussels and Paris.

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.
